Delhi’s AQI at 9am on Thursday was under ‘severe’ category at 428

As per the Central Pollution Control Board, the Air Quality Index (AQI) of Delhi at 9 am on Thursday was 428, which falls under the ‘severe’ category.

The bench earlier had expressed its serious concerns on high pollution levels in Delhi during the Diwali festival and had taken exception to violation of court orders on firecrackers ban, saying that the ban was “hardly implemented”.

‘Why ban on firecrackers is limited to Diwali’, apex court earlier asked Delhi government

The bench, during the last hearing into the air pollution matter, asked the Delhi Government that why a ban on firecrackers is limited to Diwali and directed it to decide on the aspect of “perpetual ban” on firecrackers by November 25. It also directed the Delhi Police commissioner to immediately set up a special cell for implementation of the firecracker ban.

No religion promotes any activity that promotes pollution, apex court earlier remarked

“The right to live in a pollution-free atmosphere is a fundamental right under Article 21 of the Constitution. Prima facie, we are of the view that no religion promotes any activity that promotes pollution or compromises with health of the people,” the bench remarked while hearing the air pollution matter.
