The Supreme Court of India has named the worst polluters in Delhi. Here’s what the high court said

On Monday (November 15, 2021), the Supreme Court began hearing arguments in a case brought because of the worsening air quality in Delhi. The court ordered the government to hold an emergency meeting on Tuesday to take the necessary steps to improve the situation.

It was ordered that the secretaries of Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab, and Delhi come to the meeting to give their side of the storey to the committee that was set up by the bench. The committee was led by the Chief Justice of India, NV Ramana.

• Feature:
• A bench presided over by Chief Justice of India NV Ramana has instructed the Centre to convene an emergency meeting on Tuesday to take significant steps forward in the coming days.

In addition, the Supreme Court said that pollution comes from things like building activity, industry, transportation, electricity, and stubble burning, as well as from cars and trucks.

Stump fires have little effect on the environment in general. They only have an effect for two months in summer. People in Haryana and Punjab are burning a lot of stubble right now, said the bench, which included Justices D.Y. Chandrachud and Surya Kant, as well as other people.

The Supreme Court also told the governments of Punjab and Haryana to keep an eye on farmers for two weeks to make sure they didn’t burn stubble. The court also said that people need to do something about vehicular pollution, industrial pollution, and dust control measures, among other things.

We want the government of India and states in the National Capital Region to look into whether it would be good for employees to be able to work from home.

The Supreme Court was told by the AAP administration earlier that day that it was ready to take steps like a total lockdown to keep air pollution levels down. Delhi’s government had told the Supreme Court that a measure like this, though, would be important if it were spread across the National Capital Region and other states.

The GNCTD (Government of the National Capital Territory of Delhi) is ready to take extreme steps, like shutting down the entire city. However, if this were to happen all over the National Capital Region and the neighboring states, it would be very important. Small-sized Delhi would make it hard for a lockdown to affect how the city’s air quality is set up.

“The solution to this problem would have to be found at the airshed level, which would encompass locations throughout the National Capital Region.” A declaration from the Delhi administration states that it would be willing to take this step if the government of India or the Commission for Air Quality Management in the National Capital Region and Adjacent Areas instructed them to do so.

It was already “very dangerous” on November 13 when the Supreme Court told the government to think about a two-day lockdown to protect civilians and to tell the court on Monday about any emergency measures taken to improve the air quality in order to protect people.

In a quote from India’s Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, NV Ramana says, “We have also been forced to wear masks at home. “It’s an awful situation.” Ramana was speaking at a hearing about a student’s petition alleging that the air quality in the country’s capital was deteriorating.

Delhi’s government then said that physical education classes in schools, colleges, and other educational institutions, except those where exams are being held, would be closed for a week starting on Monday. This was because of the bad weather.

There are a lot of things that have made the air in Delhi, which is often called the world’s most polluted city, worse. These things include open garbage burning and dust, as well as transportation emissions, coal-fired power plants outside the city, and other industrial activities.

On Monday, the Air Quality Index (AQI) said that Delhi’s air quality was “extremely bad” for the second day in a row. The AQI was 342 for the city. When I went to work on September 5, the air quality indexes in Ghaziabad, Greater Noida, Gurgaon (where I live), and Noida were all 328, 342, 326, and 328 at the start of the workday.

The air quality index (AQI) in the national capital dropped to 330 on Sunday, down from 473 the day before. Pollutants from agricultural fires in Haryana and Punjab dropped dramatically, the Environmental Protection Agency said.

You should know that an AQI between 0 and 50 is good, 51 and 100 is good, 101 and 200 is good, 101 and 300 is good, 201 and 400 is good, 301 and 500 is bad, but 401 and 500 are very bad.
