The Supreme Court has asked key Union ministries to submit a joint proposal to phase out coal-based industries in Delhi-NCR as part of long-term pollution control measures. The Court will also examine vehicular pollution on March 12 amid rising concerns over worsening air quality in the region.
The Supreme Court has ordered continuous hearings in the Delhi-NCR air pollution case and pulled up authorities for delays and lack of clarity on pollution sources. CJI Surya Kant directed CAQM to bring experts together and submit a consolidated report within two weeks.
