New Delhi:
The Supreme Court today delivered a sharp rebuke during the hearing on the air pollution in Delhi and nearby cities as it sought an action plan from the state government by tomorrow evening.
The Delhi government has told the Supreme Court that it is ready to take steps like complete lockdown to fight air pollution, but adds that it will have only a limited impact.
Delhi's air pollution was a "crisis situation", the judges said, sharply pulling up the city government for "lame excuses" and "passing the buck", and insisting on immediate steps as the Supreme Court resumed its hearing.
