Due to the guidelines of the Supreme Court and strictness of government rules, the production of firecrackers has been affected in Sivakasi. Due to which the production of firecrackers has come down by up to 40 percent.
firecracker business of sivakasi
This time the firecrackers can be reduced on Diwali. Because the cracker business of 6000 crores of Sivakasi in Tamil Nadu seems to be collapsing. Let us tell you that in many states of the country, firecrackers have been banned by the government and in many places only green firecrackers have been approved. In such a situation, the situation is changing rapidly. Due to the guidelines of the Supreme Court and strictness of government rules, the production of firecrackers has been affected in Sivakasi. Due to which the situation has become such that the production of firecrackers in Sivakasi has come down by 40 percent. Due to which this business is proving to be a loss deal for the people. Whereas Sivakasi in Tamil Nadu has been the biggest hub of firecracker manufacturing in the country.
There is also a big problem that the chemicals used in making green crackers are not easily available in India. They have to import from outside, due to which the prices have already gone up a lot. The owner of Ayan Fireworks says that Strontium Nitrate is used in green firecrackers. But this chemical works to draw moisture, in such a situation, if it rains, then they are not able to make firecrackers for three days. The second problem is that Strontium Nitrate is not easily available in India, it has to be imported from other countries.
Cannot find Strontium Nitrate
It is important to know here that the National Environmental Engineering Research Institute had said that Strontium Nitrate or Potassium Nitrate should be used instead of barium in firecrackers. In fact, a directive was issued by the Supreme Court to reduce pollution, after which NEERI made this suggestion and it was implemented. But at this time Strontium Nitrate is not easily available in the country, due to this the cracker business which is already in loss is getting weaker.
people getting unemployed
At this time the firecracker business is running in loss, due to which many people have lost their jobs. Due to which many people are becoming unemployed. The owner of Lima Fireworks says that many factories are still unable to make green crackers. There has also been a huge shortage of laborers, many have gone to work in other fields. And barium has also been banned from above, due to which 20 to 30 percent of the crackers are not being manufactured. Now the firecracker business is suffering, but the order of the Supreme Court is also very clear. In view of pollution in Delhi-NCR, there is a complete ban on the sale of firecrackers.
