    <fulldesc>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New Delhi, Dec 15 (KNN)&lt;/strong&gt; The district administration of Noida has written to the Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation (Peso) for a clinical composition review of green crackers ahead of Christmas and New Year celebrations. &lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;The administration has also written to the local police to ensure that the sale of green crackers is done only through licensed vendors.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;However, no licenses have been issued to any vendor to sell fire crackers for Christmas and New Year celebrations.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;The district administration had earlier written to Peso over the issue during Diwali, said, Shailendra Mishra, Noida City Magistrate,  according to a media report.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;He said, The Supreme Court had asked Peso to conduct a clinical composition review of green crackers. This is important as during Diwali celebrations, we had faced issues to know what green crackers were.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;We did not receive any information in this regard, Mishra added. &lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;So, we have again written a letter seeking information about what constitutes green crackers, so that we can take necessary measures, he added. &lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Mishra said, due to crackdown for past violations, no vendor has approached us for licenses so far. &lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;The Supreme Court, on October 23, had permitted sale of green crackers which have low emissions.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;For New Year and Christmas celebration, the Supreme Court had fixed the 11.45 pm to 12.30 am period for bursting crackers.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;During Diwali, Noida police had booked around 60 people for bursting crackers beyond permissible hours.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
