On Friday, the Calcutta High Court ordered a blanket ban on the sale and usage of firecrackers during the upcoming festive season i.e Diwali, Kali Puja, Chhath Puja, Christmas or New Year's Eve due to the existing COVID-19 situation in the state.
A division bench of justices Sabyasachi Bhattacharyya and Aniruddha Roy directed the police to take legal action against anyone whose is found to be violating the ban after having confiscated the crackers.
- A few days ago, the West Bengal Pollution Control Board had issued a circular which allowed the use of "green" firecrackers for a limited period of time on Diwali and Kali Puja. This order is now nullified.
The bench passed the order on a petition seeking re-imposition of the ban on firecrackers imposed in 2020.
