professors\/professors of the schools and colleges to educate the students about the ill-effects of the fireworks,&#8221; a bench of Chief Justice H L Dattu and Amitava Roy said.<\/p>\n<p>The apex court further directed the Centre to consult the departments concerned on the issue and come out with their response within a week to suggestions given by senior advocate A M Singhvi, who was appearing for infant petitioners who had moved the court against the use of loud fire-crackers.<\/p>\n<p>Singhvi has suggested that there must be a restriction window limiting the cracker bursting time between 7 PM and 9 PM and regulation of licences for hazardous fireworks.<\/p>\n<p>He has also suggested that the government should give wide publicity to the ill effects of fireworks and encourage their responsible use.<\/p>\n<p>Solicitor General Ranjit Kumar told the apex court that the Union government has already taken enough and effective steps to give wide publicity to the ill effects of fireworks.<\/p>\n<p>The court was hearing a petition, filed by the fathers on behalf of three infants aged between six and 14 months, who had stressed on their right to be brought up in a pollution- free environment and sought that government agencies be restrained from issuing licence for sale of crackers in the national capital.<\/p>\n<p>The plea had said the widespread use of firecrackers in Delhi during the festive season exposed vulnerable infants to severe diseases such as asthma and worsens lung condition.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They are foremost prone to lung disease, asthma, coughing, bronchitis, retarded nervous system development and cognitive impairment,&#8221; the infant petitioners had submitted.<\/p>\n<p>( Source &#8211; PTI
