As per further information from the order, it is informed that on 22/01/2024, on the occasion of Ram Mandir’s inauguration, Deepotsav and Anandotsav will be celebrated all over India. Accordingly, due to the sudden increase in the demand for firecrackers from people, firecrackers shops have been temporarily established in various places for the convenience of the people in Pune city and rural areas. A statement has been received regarding the firecrackers shops to be permitted to run between 16/01/2024 to 23/01/2024.
