Mumbai Bans Rockets and Aerial Crackers Until November 25 After Diwali Fires

Mumbai has prohibited the use of rockets and aerial crackers until November 25 following a series of fires. Three major fires broke out in different parts of the city on Diwali night alone. The blazes destroyed several huts, shops, a garage, and sections of a commercial building. The restriction was introduced in response to these incidents, which were linked to fireworks activity during the festival.
