A new analysis by the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA) reveals that nearly 44% of Indian cities suffer from severe air pollution due to long-term emission sources. Seven of the ten most polluted cities are in the Delhi-NCR region.
Delhi-NCR’s air pollution crisis hits the Supreme Court again! Terming current measures a “total failure,” the apex court orders CAQM to craft a bold, long-term plan tackling stubble burning, traffic, industry, and more. Will this finally clear the air?
Delhi-NCR’s air quality reached hazardous levels, triggering GRAP 4 restrictions. Construction, stone crushers halted; older vehicles banned. Schools up to 5th class adopt hybrid learning. These measures aim to improve air quality and protect public health.
The court sought detailed information from the Punjab and Haryana governments on the steps taken to control stubble burning. The court said that both states must respond to prevent the situation from worsening.
