This move follows Order No. (7205) issued by the Taliban administration leader on 25 Dhu al-Qi&#8217;dah 1447 AH, which emphasizes the prevention of import, production, and use of firecrackers in the country&#8217;s markets.<\/p>\n<p>According to ministry officials, during the inspection, several shopkeepers found in possession of firecrackers were warned. They were instructed to cease selling these items and to return the existing stock to merchants.<\/p>\n<p>Based on released information, the issuance of this order came in response to complaints from some citizens. However, no details have been provided regarding the monitoring methods, possible consequences of violating the order, or specific implementation mechanisms. This lack of information may raise questions among shopkeepers and market participants.<\/p>\n<p>Firecrackers are typically used during events and certain celebrations, but the Taliban administration had previously imposed restrictions on their sale and use. Experts believe that alongside such restrictions, there is a need for transparent and comprehensive communication to prevent confusion in the markets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Taliban&#8217;s Ministry of Industry inspects Kabul markets to enforce ban on firecrackers following a new order amidst citizen complaints.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":12339,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12340","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","category-important-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12340","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12340"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12340\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12339"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12340"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12340"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12340"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
