The Bombay High Court called the pollution from Mumbai’s Kanjurmarg dumping ground an emergency and said the right to breathe clean air is a fundamental right. The Court criticised civic authorities for inaction and asked them to urgently find solutions to control odour and pollution.
CJI Gavai said a pollution policy cannot be limited to Delhi, calling for a pan-India approach. The Court will hear the firecracker ban matter again on September 22.
