Delhi Police registered an FIR against unknown workers of the Aam Aadmi Party who celebrated the release of Arvind Kejriwal from jail by bursting firecrackers outside his residence

AAP workers in Delhi burst firecrackers after Supreme Court granted bail to Arvind Kejriwal in the Delhi liquor policy scam.

According to Environment Minister Gopal Rai, the ban extends to the internet sale and distribution of firecrackers. "The ban on the production, storage, sale, and use of firecrackers will remain in force till January 1, 2025," Rai said in the statement.

Kerala Congress insinuated that the 770 KG "explosives" recovered from RSS affiliate were meant for terror activities. However, those were firecrackers for upcoming Vishu Festival

On Sunday, the Air Quality Index (AQI) in Delhi surpassed the 400 mark for the 24 hours, categorising it as 'severe'.

The video of the incident shows Salman Khan fans bursting crackers inside a cinema as Khan makes his entry in 'Tiger 3' movie.

The police team engaged in intensive surveillance from November 11-13 with raids on cracker distributors.

Last week, Minister Gopal Rai said that BS3 petrol and BS4 diesel vehicles coming from Uttar Pradesh have been contributing to the deterioration of the air quality index in the national capital. Rai’s statement came after Anand Vihar’s AQI touched 999 making it extremely hazardous.

The Bombay High Court expressed concern over sale of crackers with 'banned chemicals' and continued the ban on debris transportation in MMR till November 19 this year.

The court said there is a wrong perception that it is the court's responsibility on the issue of the environment.
