New Delhi: With the Supreme Court banning the sale of firecrackers in Delhi-NCR, vendors have devised innovative ways to get rid of their stock. Some have adopted the ruse of “gifting” or accepting payment in kind.
Those selling firecrackers online have come up with package plans of Rs 3,000, Rs 5,000 and Rs 10,000 with doorstep delivery. Some of the online stores are asking customers to place orders on WhatsApp and pay an advance of 50% and expect the crackers to be dropped at their house a day before Diwali. Sellers are pinning hopes on a petition that will come up before the Supreme Court on Thursday.
At the Sadar Bazar market, sellers who sold firecrackers have placed Chinese lights and earthen lamps on their counters. When asked about firecrackers, they first denied selling any. But some of them agreed to “give away” some of the stock in return for online payment. Delhi police had issued 400 licences, which were cancelled after a notification on Wednesday. hor and Corporal Nilesh Kumar were part of the first batch of Garud commandos attached to the Army for counter-terrorism training after the attack on the Pathankot airbase last year.
