Air pollution case: The Supreme Court on Thursday gave a 24-hour deadline to the Centre and Delhi government to come up with a serious plan for the implementation of air pollution control measures.
The apex court informed the Commission for Air Quality Management in NCR and adjoining areas that in an emergency situation you have to work in emergent ways. "We cannot enforce or infuse creativity in your bureaucracy, you have to come up with some steps," SC told the Centre.
The Centre informed the Supreme Court that industries found non-compliant were closed and State governments were intimated. "Things are going on at jet speed and officers are working round the clock," said Solicitor General Tushar Mehta.
The top court observed that nothing was happening, in spite of air pollution levels rising.
