Jaipur: The Rajasthan government has issued fresh guidelines to control pollution during Diwali, placing restrictions on the use of firecrackers in five districts falling under the National Capital Region (NCR).
Under the new rules, residents of these five districts will be allowed to burst firecrackers on only two days. The permitted window will be limited to three hours.
The guidelines also specify that only certified green firecrackers can be used during the authorised period. All other types of firecrackers will remain completely prohibited in these districts.
The restrictions have been introduced as part of the state’s efforts to limit pollution during the festive celebrations. The government has made clear that the permission is subject to both the specified days and the three-hour time limit.
The announcement does not identify the five districts or specify the exact dates and timings in the information provided. Residents will need to follow the detailed schedule and instructions issued by the authorities.
The move places additional limits on firecracker use in the NCR areas of Rajasthan, where only approved green crackers will be permitted under the stated conditions.
