New Delhi, Sept 25: A plea has been filed in Delhi High Court seeking to modify the Delhi government's decision on completely ban on storage, sale and use of firecrackers during Diwali. The petition has been filed by Rahul Sawariya and Tanveer, through advocates Gautam Jha, Pankaj Kumar and Shweta Jha. The petition also sought direction from the respondent to consider 'graded regulations' instead of a complete ban on firecrackers during the festival. According to the petition, the decision to ban all forms of firecrackers prior to about 1.5 months of Diwali is 'arbitrary and unreasonable'. The petitioner claimed that the decision is also excessive. According to the petition, the National Clean Air Programme, under the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, presented a report on the issue of air pollution and the findings. The petitioner said that data presented in the report demonstrates that the bursting of firecrackers is not among the major sources of pollution in Delhi and the NCR.
