Following Indian apex1 court's recent order banning the polluting fire-crackers2, the Made-in-China electronic crackers, or e-crackers, have indeed created a buzz in the markets in Indian capital.
 
印度最高法院近期下令禁止燃放鞭炮，来自中国的电子鞭炮，在印度首都市场引起购买热潮。
 
The Chinese e-crackers are as per the norms set by the court, as they do not emit smoke and also produce light and sound, thereby3 suitably dubbed4 as environment-friendly.
 
Bursting fire-crackers is an integral part of celebrations during the festival of lights or Diwali, one of the major festivals celebrated5 across India with much pump and show.
 
Diwali falls on Nov. 7 this year. Considering the rising air pollution levels in Delhi, the Supreme6 Court of India last month banned bursting polluting fire-crackers on the Diwali night.
 
Over the past couple of weeks, the air quality in Delhi has been getting worse with each passing day, even a thick blanket of smoke has engulfed7 Delhi and its surrounding areas. One of the major causes of Delhi's polluted air is the burning of crops-residue (stubble) by farmers in the neighbouring states of Punjab and Haryana.
 
In the prevailing8 circumstances, the China-made e-crackers being sold in Delhi's Chandichowk area, which has a traditional wholesale9 market of fire-crackers, has caught everyone's attention. The crackers are ignited by a remote control, and create sounds below the standards set by the government.
 
Raju, one of the sellers of such e-crackers at the "Lala Lajpat Rai Market" in Chandnichowk area, right opposite the historic Red Fort, told Xinhua that it was a new trend among the youths who are more environment friendly. And, also there is a clear direction from the Supreme Court banning the polluting fire-crackers and allowing only the green non-polluting crackers.
 
The apex court also set the timing10 of bursting green-crackers, between 20:00 and 22:00 on the Diwali night.
