Delhi Pollution Capital Punishment

As air quality in the national capital continues to be "poor", the Supreme Court has reprimanded the centre and civic agencies for lack of action in pollution-related complaints. The court said that the local agencies - the municipalities -- have failed to address the grievances of the citizens and lax officials should be put behind bars.

The alarming pollution level is literally 'capital punishment' for Delhi'ites who are being robbed of three years of their lives due to it, Delhi High Court said, holding government's inaction and stubble burning in Punjab as being responsible for the "genocide".
