No illegal fireworks

THERE were no reports of illegal firework use in the city during the Spring Festival holiday, Shanghai police said yesterday. Shanghai banned the use of fireworks and firecrackers in the area within Outer Ring Road in 2016. On the fourth night of Chinese New Year — when people traditionally set off fireworks to welcome the God of Wealth — more than 300,000 community volunteers around the city patrolled alongside police officers to enforce the ban.
