Calling pollution a “pan-India” issue, the Supreme Court Today (Dec 16) asked the government to submit a list of highly polluted cities. The court said a machinery similar to the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM), which identifies and resolves problems surrounding air quality in Delhi-NCR, should be created for all states.
The Supreme Court expressed shock over the problems surrounding solid waste management in Delhi, noting that the city was producing around 3,000 tonnes of solid waste everyday in excess of its processing capacity.
