Srinagar, June 02: In a decisive move to safeguard public health, safety, and property during Eid-ul-Adha celebrations, the Baramulla administration has imposed a blanket ban on the bursting of firecrackers in densely populated areas of the district.

An order issued by District Magistrate Minga Sherpa (IAS) on June 2, aims to prevent noise pollution, fire hazards, and respiratory health risks commonly associated with firework displays in crowded neighborhoods like Khanpora.

The order comes in response to a formal representation submitted by the General Secretary of the Awam Planning Committee, Baramulla, expressing serious concerns over the increasing use of fireworks in congested localities—particularly Khanpora area—during festive celebrations. The application emphasized the potential adverse effects on public health, noise pollution, and the risk to life and property.

After considering these concerns, the District Magistrate imposed a strict ban on the bursting of firecrackers in sensitive zones during the Eid celebrations, particularly on June 9, 2025. The order states that no individual or group shall burst fireworks or firecrackers in and around crowded neighborhoods.

The Senior Superintendent of Police, Baramulla, has been directed to ensure strict enforcement of this order. Executive Magistrates and Police Officers on duty have been instructed to take immediate action under relevant laws against any violators.

“This step has been taken in the interest of public health, safety, and environmental well-being. Firecrackers pose serious hazards, especially in densely populated localities, and can trigger distress among vulnerable sections including the elderly, children, and patients,” the District Magistrate said.

The order will remain in effect through the duration of Eid-ul-Adha celebrations, and violators will face strict legal consequences.

The administration has appealed to the public to cooperate in maintaining peace and safety during the festivities and to celebrate the occasion in a responsible and environment-friendly manner.
