Expressing deep concern over the deteriorating air quality, the Supreme Court (SC) remarked that while measures are discussed and implemented on paper, the ground reality in Delhi paints a starkly different picture. The SC’s observation underscores the pressing need for more effective measures to combat the persistent air pollution crisis in the city.
Delhi’s overall AQI was measured at 343, indicating the widespread nature of the issue and the severe impact it has on the health and well-being of the city’s residents. As winter approaches, concerns about deteriorating air quality levels are mounting, as these hazardous conditions can have severe health implications, particularly for vulnerable groups.

It is evident that the current efforts to combat pollution are falling short, and a collective, concerted approach is required to address this issue and protect the health of the people living in the nation’s capital.
