Mysore/Mysuru: Over 90 per cent of crackers manufactured at Sivakasi in Tamil Nadu (TN) are green crackers and people can light firecrackers without worry of causing air pollution, said office-bearers of Hebbal Industrial Area Crackers Traders Association.
Addressing a joint press conference here his morning, V. Ravi, Anand, Harish and Manikanth said that in 2018, a few individuals filed a writ in Supreme Court seeking a ban on the manufacture of firecrackers on the ground of causing severe air pollution. Several Central Government agencies were engaged by the Apex Court to suggest chemicals that would not cause harm to the environment. Subsequently, all cracker manufacturing units in TN have been using chemicals suggested by the Central Government agencies.
