Delhi’s AQI remained in the ‘very poor’ to ‘severe’ range, prompting the Supreme Court to resume hearings on pollution control measures as stubble burning and weather conditions worsen air quality.
The Air Quality Index of Delhi-NCR continued to remain in the very poor to severe range on Monday as the thick layer of smog covered the national capital.At 6.00 a.m., Delhi recorded an average AQI of 360.
However, six monitoring stations reported AQI of over 400, placing them in the severe range.Alipur recorded an AQI of 386, Anand Vihar 384, Ashok Vihar 392, Chandni Chowk 383, ITO 394, Lodhi Road 337, Mundka 396, Nehru Nagar 389, and Sirifort recorded 368.Meanwhile, Bawana , DTU , Jahangirpuri , Narela , Rohini , and Wazirpur recorded a severe AQI.Additionally, the Supreme Court is set to resume hearing on Monday the public interest litigation concerning alarming air pollution levels in the national capital and the adjoining areas.The hearing assumes significance as stubble burning and stagnant weather conditions continue to push Delhis air quality into the severe category.As per the cause list uploaded on the Apex Courts website, a Bench of Chief Justice of India B.R. Gavai and Justices K. Vinod Chandran and N.V. Anjaria will take up the matter for further hearing on November 17.In the previous hearing on November 12, the CJI Gavai-led Bench had expressed concern over the deteriorating air quality despite enforcement of the Graded Response Action Plan , and had directed the governments of Punjab and Haryana to file detailed affidavits outlining the steps taken to curb stubble burning.The Top Court took note of submissions highlighting that AQI crossed 450 at several locations in Delhi-NCR.Senior advocate Gopal Sankaranarayanan had pointed out that even routine construction activities, including drilling work outside the Supreme Courts own premises, were continuing despite hazardous conditions.At least for a few days, such activities should stop, Sankaranarayanan told the Apex Court.Senior advocate Aparajita Singh, the amicus curiae assisting the Supreme Court, had also flagged discrepancies in official pollution data and warned that the situation had become very dangerous.The CJI Gavai-led Bench, which has been monitoring the issue closely, had earlier called for a report from the Commission for Air Quality Management on its monitoring and enforcement mechanisms and had even asked the Centre to consider strict penalties, including arrests, to deter farmers from burning crop residue.Recently, Apex Court judge Justice P. S. Narasimha urged advocates to avoid physical appearances in Supreme Court proceedings and instead opt for virtual hearings, warning that Delhis toxic air could cause permanent damage.
