NDTV
Live Updates: Delhi's air quality slipped into the very poor category this morning as low temperatures and slow surface winds allowed accumulation of pollutants.
The Supreme Court is set to hear a public interest litigation on the worrying situation in Delhi due to air pollution. The court has asked the centre and state governments to comply with all the measures declared by the Commission for Air Quality Management.
It had earlier observed that TV debates are causing more air pollution than anything else and everybody has their own agenda while hearing cases relating to increasing air pollution in Delhi-NCR.
A bench of Chief Justice of India NV Ramana, Justices DY Chandrachud and Surya Kant will hear the plea today.
The center has proposed a slew of measures including a ban on entry of all trucks in Delhi except vehicles carrying essential goods, shutting down of schools and 50 per cent attendance in offices of GNCTD to reduce air pollution.
