Major Decision by Nagpur Municipal Corporation: Ban on Rockets and Aerial Fireworks

Nagpur: Following 42 fire incidents during Diwali, Nagpur imposes a ban on rockets and aerial fireworks; the order remains in effect until November 30. Nagpur, November 10, 2026 – In the wake of a significant surge in fire incidents during the Diwali festival, the Nagpur administration has taken a major step. The Urban Disaster Management Authority (UDMA) of the Nagpur Municipal Corporation has banned the bursting of rockets, 'sky shots,' and any fireworks that ascend into the air. This ban will remain in force from November 9 to November 30, 2026. According to the administration's directive, the use of such fireworks is prohibited on rooftops, terraces, balconies, in slum areas, marketplaces, crowded zones, and parking areas. During the Diwali period, Nagpur city witnessed over 42 fire incidents within just 24 hours. Considering this spike, the administration has implemented this precautionary measure to ensure public safety. Previously, similar bans were imposed by the administrations in Mumbai and Thane. In Thane district, following directives from Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, a three-month total ban was placed on the sale and use of aerial fireworks—specifically rockets. The administration's objective is to curb fire incidents within the city and guarantee the safety of its citizens. It has been clarified that those who violate this ban will face action under the relevant sections of the Disaster Management Act and the Police Act. Citizens are urged to prioritize safety and strictly adhere to these regulations.
