Today, On 17th September, The Supreme Court highlighted that imprisoning some farmers for stubble burning could act as a strong deterrent and send a clear message to others. The remarks came while hearing petitions on Delhi-NCR’s severe October air pollution.
The Delhi government plans to approach the Supreme Court for a uniform ban on refuelling old vehicles across the NCR due to hardships caused by selective enforcement that allows fuel sales in neighboring areas. Officials argue that equal regulations are necessary to improve air quality and reduce confusion among residents.
