Huge relief for the Telangana fireworks dealers across the state, the Supreme Court on Friday allowed the sale and use of firecrackers in the state in accordance with the order of the National Green Tribunal (NGT).

The Supreme Court issued interim orders based on a plea by the Telangana Fire Workers Dealers Association, which had challenged the Thursday orders of the Telangana High Court banning sale and use of firecrackers in the state. It had sought immediate stay on grounds that their livelihoods will be at stake because of the order.
