Deputy Commissioner (DC) Vivek Bharti stated that, in accordance with the SC’s ruling, all firecracker-related activities — such as manufacturing, storage, sale, online delivery and bursting — are prohibited throughout the year in the National Capital Region (NCR) of Haryana, which includes Mahendragarh. He explained that this measure has been adopted in the interest of protecting the environment and public health and will contribute significantly to maintaining air quality. Citizens are urged to adhere to the ban and also spread awareness within their communities.
