Firecracker  

The Supreme Court has modified the former order of bursting crackers only between 8 pm and 10 pm during Diwali, following the Tamil Nadu government petition, which mentioned that the festival was celebrated in the morning of November 6. 

How far is the Supreme Court order practical? Why was the verdict given just 15 days ahead of the festival. What are green crackers and is the formula out in the Indian market? MyNation speaks to various stakeholders.

India is preparing to induct its first Rafale plane in September next year, and has already paid over Rs 25,000 crore to France for the 36 combat aircraft, for which a deal was signed in September 2016.

The Supreme Court allowed the use of firecrackers during Diwali and Christmas with restrictions.

In its order, the court banned the online sale of firecrackers and put a stay on e-commerce portals from selling them.

The top court in India had earlier reported its concern over the growing respiratory problems among children due to air pollution caused by firecrackers.
