“This is the national capital, imagine the signal we are sending to the world”: SC on Delhi pollution

Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, representing the Centre, elaborated on the graded response adopted by the authorities as air quality deteriorates.Justice Chandrachud suggested seasonal modelling for air pollution for example — from January to March, July to September, and November to January. “You have to have models for different seasons for Delhi…look at the data in the last 5 years,” he added.Pointing at 381 AQI in Delhi, the bench told the Centre to take steps for 2-3 days to curb air pollution and scheduled the matter for further hearing on Monday.The top court is hearing a petition by a minor Aditya Dubey seeking action against stubble burning, which chokes Delhi every year.
