New Delhi: The Supreme Court will on Friday hear a plea seeking a complete ban on firecrackers in Delhi and NCR.

The plea was filed by Arjun Gopal on October 27.

The petitioner, on whose earlier plea, the apex court had restored the ban on the sale of firecrackers from October 9 to November 1, submitted before the court that the ban could be extended beyond November 1.

The impact of the ban on the pollution level in the capital remains a bone of contention among experts.
