Plea in Supreme Court seeks full-fledged hearing for Delhi pollution

Lawyer says pollution is not winter’s tale, court hearing should not be confined to winter months
A senior advocate in the Supreme Court has written to apex court judges to hold full-fledged, back-to-back hearings to resolve the pollution crisis.
The parent of one of the three children who moved the apex court to ban firecrackers, senior advocate Gopal Sankaranarayanan, said pollution is not a ‘winter’s tale’. The focus on pollution should not be confined to a few court hearings in the winter months.
The evil has spread its tentacles outside the capital. Pollutants claim a child every three minutes. Filthy air broadens the great divide between the rich and the poor, even among children, Mr. Sankaranarayanan observed.
