Supreme Court expresses concern over Delhi's air pollution

The Supreme Court, observing the persistent air pollution in the national capital despite the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) taking several remedial steps, directed the governments of Delhi, Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan to provide details about the measures they have initiated to control it. The court noted that a couple of decades ago, this was the best time in Delhi, but now the city's air quality has worsened to the point where it is difficult to even go outside.

A three-judge bench headed by Justice SK Kaul instructed the five states to submit affidavits within a week. Justice Kaul stated, "The concerned states should file an affidavit outlining the steps they have taken to improve the situation. We urge the states of Delhi, Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan to submit an affidavit within a week." The bench, which also included Justices Sudhanshu Dhulia and P K Mishra, scheduled the further hearing for November 7.
