Firecracker bans help cities breathe easy, but it’s not the case for vulnerable communities dependent on the industry. As politicians play it safe and do not want to rock the boat and develop a transition plan, workers and small business owners are left to bear the brunt of clampdowns on fireworks imposed by State governments and local administrations. 

In this episode of the Suno India show, Hariprasad Radhakrishnan travels to Sivakasi, the fireworks manufacturing hub of India and speaks with labourers and factory owners grappling with the lack of demand for fireworks.
