What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Supreme Court established a regulatory framework for green crackers in Karnataka on October 1, 2026. This framework permits only specified improved and green firecrackers while prohibiting categories such as joined firecrackers or conventional garlands. Citizens subsequently filed a legal notice against key government and civic authorities, demanding strict enforcement of these restrictions.

The court's directions mandate a shift toward environmentally compliant firecrackers, limiting the types of products that can be sold and used in the state. Citizens are now pressuring authorities to ensure compliance and prevent the unauthorized storage or sale of prohibited stock.
