The Supreme Court on Wednesday criticised both the Centre and the AAP government while blaming a lack of sincere efforts on both their parts for the serious air pollution situation in Delhi.
The bench headed by Chief Justice N V Ramana and comprising Justices D Y Chandrachud and Surya Kant also criticised the bureaucracy for having developed an attitude of ‘don’t take any step’ for dealing with any situation. It pointed out that firecrackers were burnt in Delhi despite a ban.
