Union Minister for Science &amp; Technology, Earth Sciences and Health and Family Welfare, Dr. Harsh Vardhan announced in a Press Conference in New Delhi, that Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) labs have been successful in developing various environment-friendly fireworks such as sound-emitting crackers, flowerpots, pencils, chakkar, and sparklers. He further pointed out that these fireworks, based on new formulations developed by CSIR, have been manufactured and are available in the Indian market for consumers and sellers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>He further informed that due to the ban that had been imposed as per the orders of Hon\u2019ble Supreme Court of India, there was a threat of imminent closure of the entire fireworks industry.
