Considering the increase in air pollution at the national capital, the Supreme Court upheld the ban on the sale of firecrackers in Delhi on Monday till Nov 1, media reports said.

The sale of firecrackers, which is currently banned, will begin from November.

Earlier, in 2016, the ban was imposed on fire crackers in Delhi.

India will celebrate Diwali this week.
