Mysore/Mysuru: In the wake of Supreme Court’s nationwide ban on firecrackers, the Mysuru District Administration has issued a directive for the upcoming Deepavali festival. The directive restricts the bursting of crackers to a two-hour window, from 8 pm to 10 pm. Additionally, the Pollution Control Board will enforce strict measures against the sale of non-eco-friendly crackers, allowing only ‘green’ crackers to be sold.
Mysuru Deputy Commissioner Dr. K.V. Rajendra issued this directive in line with the guidelines provided by the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB), which align with the Supreme Court’s directive. The directive aims to ensure that air quality remains within an acceptable range.
