It needs to be mentioned that the Supreme Court had allowed green firecrackers in Delhi-NCR during certain windows on November 7 and 8. The allowed time was from 6 am to 7 am and 8 pm to 10 pm. However, several reports indicated the use of fireworks even after midnight, even though there was a complete ban imposed on November 9.
