Kolkata: Traders stock up on ‘green’ crackers

Retailers in Baazi Bazar at the Shahid Minar ground have started selling ‘green crackers’, which they claim are low-pollutant alternatives that will bring down the PM 2.5 count by almost 30% and keep the decibel level in check. The green crackers brought in from Sivakasi in Tamil Nadu, the biggest manufacturing hub of fireworks in India, reportedly don’t contain banned chemicals like barium, lithium, arsenic and lead.
