Stubble burning in the neighbouring states of Haryana and Punjab before the onset of winter has reportedly caused severe air pollution in Delhi NCR. It has emerged as one of the major contributors for Delhi’s poor air quality.
The Supreme Court on Thursday slammed the Commission for Air Quality Management for making “no effort” to implement its direction to stop stubble burning.
“CAQM has not launched a single prosecution against incidents of stubble burning,” the apex court declared.
This comes after the top court called the commission a “silent spectator” in its last hearing on September 27.
