  "account": "On November 2, 2026, the Supreme Court ruled that green firecrackers would be permitted for public bursting in Delhi-NCR on November 7 and 8. However, environmental activists and traders have expressed concerns over the implementation of this order. Activists questioned the feasibility of enforcing such short notice restrictions, while traders warned about the limited time they have to stock up on green firecrackers. The Supreme Court had previously called Deepavali fireworks a \"religious practice\" and allowed green crackers for two days in the Delhi-NCR region. Despite previous years' attempts at full or partial bans on firecrackers being largely flouted, the court's decision has reignited debates over its enforceability.",
  "summary": "Over the years, both complete or partial bans on firecrackers have been openly flouted by people in the national capital",
