What's behind this
Mumbai’s Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has imposed a preventive ban on rockets and other aerial firecrackers across its jurisdiction until November 25, covering residential buildings, rooftops, balconies and slum pockets. The ban, announced in a statement on Monday, follows a sharp rise in fire incidents linked to firecrackers, with the Mumbai Fire Brigade responding to numerous calls after Diwali blazes. Authorities in neighboring Thane have also grounded aerial firecrackers as part of the same safety measures.
