What happened
The district administration approved five designated cluster sites for the sale of Diwali fireworks, which will operate from November 4 to November 8.

Why it matters
The move centralizes the sale of fireworks, which are restricted to certified green crackers under licensing rules. The Chotanagpur Fireworks Dealers Association welcomes the model as a way to manage festive crowds and reduce safety risks for the approximately 1,200 vendors who receive licenses annually.
