A relaxation time of two hours from 8 to 10 p.m will be given to bursting crackers on Diwali, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar said on Monday.
The Chief Minister said in a statement that the Supreme Court and the National Green Tribunal have given permission to burst crackers for a limited time period due to increasing pollution in Delhi.
