Somnath non-veg food ban continues: What Gujarat Govt says, why restaurants opposed it and court's latest order

What's behind this

The Supreme Court has allowed the use of certified green firecrackers in Delhi‑NCR on November 7 and 8, restricting bursting to specified morning and evening hours, capping it at three hours a day and establishing 300‑metre no‑cracker zones, while banning conventional and unauthorised fireworks, limiting sales to designated locations and ordering pollution monitoring and daily air‑quality checks. In East Singhbhum, the district administration has earmarked 23 urban and rural sites for firecracker sales, with temporary markets opening on November 5 and vendors required to operate only within those zones. Firework manufacturers must obtain certification for green firecrackers as mandated by the Court.
