Delhi Air Quality: A lockdown is needed for the neighbouring areas of Delhi too, which come under the National Capital Region (NCR), the Arvind Kejriwal government has said in its affidavit.
The Delhi government has told the Supreme Court that it is ready to take steps like complete lockdown to fight air pollution, but adds that it will have only a limited impact.
A lockdown is needed for the neighbouring areas of Delhi too, which come under the National Capital Region (NCR), the Arvind Kejriwal government has said in its affidavit.
"The Delhi government is ready to take steps like complete lock down to control local emissions. However, such a step would be meaningful if it is implemented across the NCR areas in neighbouring states. Given Delhi's compact size, a lock down would have limited impact on the air quality regime," says the affidavit.
