Supreme Court Justice Warns Delhi Air Will Deteriorate Post-Diwali
· India · Hindustan Times, NDTV
Supreme Court judge Vikram Nath remarked on Wednesday that Delhi's air quality will worsen significantly following Diwali. The observation came during a hearing in New Delhi when the bench accommodated a request by senior advocate Indira Jaising to defer a matter to November 17. Justice Nath noted that celebrating before the festival offers a cleaner environment compared to the severe pollution expected afterward. The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear a separate batch of petitions regarding firecracker regulations on Thursday. Existing judicial orders enforce a strict ban on the sale and distribution of firecrackers across Delhi and the surrounding National Capital Region.
Why it matters
Impending toxic smog poses severe health risks to millions of residents across Delhi and the NCR during the festive season.
