Mumbai’s municipal authority has ordered a ban on rockets and other aerial firecrackers until November 25, covering all residential buildings, rooftops, balconies and slum pockets. The restriction follows a Diwali fire scare that saw 137 fire incidents in a single day, prompting authorities in both Mumbai and Thane to ground such fireworks. No further details about the ban’s enforcement are provided in the excerpts.
