The Supreme Court has stopped authorities from taking action against diesel cars over 10 years old and petrol cars over 15 years old in Delhi, pending review of its 2018 ban. The matter will be heard again in four weeks.
The Supreme Court of India criticized Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, and Rajasthan for failing to fill vacancies in pollution control boards, with 55% of positions in Delhi still unfilled. The court warned of legal action against the Chief Secretaries for non-compliance with earlier orders, deeming the situation “shocking” and detrimental to public health.
