Supreme Court Directs Delhi and Neighbouring States to Curb Vehicular Pollution in NCR

The Supreme Court has ordered Delhi and three neighbouring states to implement urgent measures to combat rising vehicular pollution in the National Capital Region. The bench, led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, emphasized the need for stricter enforcement against over-age and non-compliant vehicles operating within the region. Authorities in Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, and Rajasthan, along with the Delhi Police, must submit detailed reports within two weeks. These reports should outline current enforcement strategies and future plans to regulate commercial and private vehicle movement, specifically targeting those that fail to meet <b>prescribed emission standards</b>. The court is seeking a comprehensive regulatory framework to ensure better inter-state coordination and stricter adherence to environmental laws.
