Ban on Firecrackers in Delhi till January 1: DPCC
The Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) has issued orders for a ban on firecrackers in Delhi until January 1. The ban includes manufacturing, storage, sale, and burning of firecrackers. Violators will face action from the police, as instructed by the DPCC.
In line with last year’s decision, the Environment Minister had announced the ban on firecrackers to combat pollution in Delhi. The DPCC has now formalized the ban through its orders. Online delivery of firecrackers was observed in previous years, prompting the DPCC to prohibit the sale of firecrackers through online marketing platforms as well. The DPCC has also directed the police to provide a report on the action taken to enforce these restrictions.
This ban aims to reduce the pollution levels in Delhi during the festive season. Firecrackers are known to contribute significantly to air and noise pollution, posing health risks, particularly for individuals with respiratory conditions.
Impact of Firecrackers on Pollution
Firecrackers emit various pollutants, including sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter. These pollutants can worsen air quality, leading to respiratory problems, allergies, and other health issues. Additionally, the loud noise from firecrackers can cause stress, anxiety, and disturbance to individuals, especially children, elderly people, and pets.
Previous Measures and Public Response
Delhi has implemented similar bans on firecrackers in previous years to mitigate pollution levels. However, enforcing the ban has been a challenge due to the availability of firecrackers through illegal channels. Online delivery of firecrackers was also observed in previous years, bypassing physical stores and regulations.
The public response to the ban on firecrackers has been mixed. While some individuals support the ban to protect the environment and public health, others argue that it affects livelihoods and traditions associated with festivals.
Conclusion
The ban on firecrackers in Delhi until January 1, enforced by the DPCC, aims to curb pollution levels during the festive season. The ban includes a prohibition on manufacturing, storage, sale, and burning of firecrackers. Violators will face action from the police. The ban is part of ongoing efforts to improve air quality and protect public health in Delhi.
