Can Diwali Return with Green Crackers? 🎆 Delhi Government's New Challenge

Hello everyone! Today, I have a truly noteworthy piece of news. I found myself deeply interested upon seeing these developments. It's about the Delhi government's plan to request the Supreme Court to allow 'green crackers' for this year's Diwali. 🎆

What Exactly Are Green Crackers?

First, you might be wondering what 'green crackers' are. Simply put, they are eco-friendly fireworks that reduce pollutant emissions compared to traditional ones. The Delhi government has announced it will approach the Supreme Court to permit such 'certified green fireworks' for this year's Diwali. This is a move to revive policies attempted between 2018 and 2020, which, due to implementation difficulties, were assessed as not achieving the expected improvements in air quality.

Finding a Balance Between 'Public Sentiment' and 'Environmental Protection'

Chief Minister [Name, if known, otherwise omit or use placeholder] stated that the government aims to strike a balance between "public sentiment and environmental protection." 👏 In other words, they are demonstrating a commitment to finding ways to address the severe air pollution issue while preserving the joy of the Diwali festival.

The government's stance is based on the judgment that "a blanket ban policy did not yield the desired results." Therefore, allowing green crackers, accompanied by "strong enforcement" within "regulated and designated times," could be a "more practical solution." 💡 According to a report dated October 7, 2025, the Delhi government seeks to drive positive change through this more realistic approach.

Learning from Past Failures

The experiences from 2018 to 2020 undoubtedly provided significant lessons for the Delhi government. Although discussions around introducing green crackers occurred back then, they were not properly established and somewhat fizzled out. This time, with the commitment to use 'certified' green crackers and accompanied by 'strong enforcement,' efforts to avoid repeating past failures are evident. 🧐

What Are Your Thoughts?

What do you think about the Delhi government's move? Could this be a good way to protect the environment while continuing the tradition of bursting crackers on Diwali? Or are there still concerns? Please feel free to share your opinions in the comments! 😊

Much attention will be paid to how the Supreme Court's decision will impact Delhi's air quality improvement and the preservation of the festival's spirit. 🙏

We hope you have a warm Diwali and will return with more news!
