Guwahati News Desk: The Delhi Government on Monday informed the Supreme Court that it readily agrees to impose a complete lockdown in Delhi to control the issue of air pollution.
In addition, the Delhi government suggested to the apex court that it would be meaningful if the lockdown is implemented across the NCR areas in the neighboring states.
In addition, the Delhi government filed an affidavit that stated, “This issue would need to be addressed at the level of airshed involving NCR areas. In view of the above, we are ready to consider this step if the same is mandated for the entire NCR areas by the government of India or by the Commission for Air Quality Management in National Capital Region and adjoining areas.”
Moreover, the affidavit was submitted in response to a plea filed by the environmental activist Aditya Dubey and law student Aman Banka, who sought directions to provide stubble-removing machines to small and marginal farmers for free.
Furthermore, Delhi’s air quality remained in the ‘very poor’ category for the second consecutive day on Monday, with the AQI being recorded at 342.
