The order said, “The cities/town/areas in which air quality is moderate or below, the timings for use and bursting of crackers, on Diwali days or any other festivals like Gurupurab, etc will strictly be from 8 pm till 10 pm only. For Chatt, the same will be from 6 am to 8 am. On Christmas and New Year Eve, when such fireworks start around midnight, i.e. from 12 am, it will be from 11:55 pm till 12:30 am only.”

The government has also notified about the ban earlier this month which has been issued in view of the deteriorating air quality that the region witnesses during this time of the year, which is enhanced by the bursting of crackers and stubble burning in nearby districts. The order came soon after directives were issued by the NGT and the Supreme Court on the restrictions on the use of crackers.
