कोरोना समीक्षा बैठक के दौरान सीएम अशोक गहलोत ने पटाखों की ​बिक्री और आतिशबाजी पर रोक लगाने का फैसला लिया। पटाखों के धुएं के कारण कोरोना रोगियों के अलावा अन्य लोगों को हृदय और श्वास संबंधी दिक्कतें हो सकती हैं, ऐसे में लोगों को दिवाली के दौरान आतिशबाजी से बचना चाहिए।

इसी के चलते मुख्यमंत्री ने पटाखों की बिक्री के अस्थायी लाइसेंस पर भी रोक लगाने का निर्देश दिये हैं। सीएम गहलोत ने कहा है, कोरोना वायरस के प्रसार को रोकने के लिये ये फैसला लिया है। सीएम ने कहा कि शादियों और अन्य समारोहों में आतिशबाजी बंद की जानी चाहिए।
