Supreme Court Focuses On Vehicular Emissions As Constant Threat To Delhi Air

The Supreme Court has shifted its focus beyond Deepavali toward the consistent danger of <b>vehicular emissions</b> contributing to toxic air in the national capital. A Bench headed by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant noted a sharp increase in issues attributable to vehicle pollution. The Bench sought detailed information from authorities on measures undertaken against violations, including the number of vehicles inspected, challaned, or denied entry. The court alerted officials that thick smog had raised the Air Quality Index to the severe category following the festival. The Supreme Court reminded authorities that Delhi and the National Capital Region bear the cumulative burden of traffic originating from neighboring states. Urgent steps and continuous monitoring are underway as the matter remains under judicial scrutiny.
