During a hearing on pollution in Delhi and nearby cities, the Uttar Pradesh government told the Supreme Court that polluted air is mostly coming from Pakistan.
Polluted air is mostly coming from Pakistan, the Uttar Pradesh government told the Supreme Court today during the hearing on pollution in Delhi and nearby cities. That provoked a question from Chief Justice of India NV Ramana that UP's lawyers could not answer.
"Uttar Pradesh is downwind. Air is mostly coming from Pakistan. Whatever is happening is not necessarily in UP," senior lawyer Ranjit Kumar said, representing the UP government.
The Chief Justice said: "So you want the banning of industries in Pakistan?"
The UP government made the comments as it requested the Supreme Court not to impose restrictions on sugar mills and milk industries in the state to curb pollution.
