Supreme Court strict with fireworks in Delhi
An increase in incidents of stubble burning was observed on Diwali day. Amicus Curiae has provided this information to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court has expressed deep displeasure over the launching of fireworks in Delhi despite a ban on their use. The Supreme Court said, ‘We want the Delhi government to immediately answer why this happened. We will also send a notice to the Delhi Police Commissioner explaining why this was not followed.
The order was not strictly implemented.
The Supreme Court criticized the Delhi government for burning firecrackers in Delhi despite the ban, saying that according to media reports, the ban order was not strictly implemented. Banning firecrackers is an important measure to control pollution.
Notice to Delhi Police Commissioner also
The Supreme Court has issued a notice to the Delhi Police Commissioner for failing to ban fireworks despite the ban on firecrackers in Delhi. I also sought answers from them. The Supreme Court stated that there is no doubt that the ban on firecrackers was hardly enforced. The report even claims that pollution reached its highest point during Diwali. We request the Delhi government to submit an affidavit on the measures taken to address the pollution.
Such an incident should not happen next year.
The court said it also directed the Delhi Police Commissioner to file an affidavit regarding the steps taken to implement the ban. Both should explain what measures they propose to take so that such an incident does not occur next year.
The case will be heard on November 14
This should also include the measures taken for the public campaign. The states of Punjab and Haryana should also file affidavits regarding the details of stubble burning in the last 10 days. The Supreme Court has asked the Delhi Police Commissioner to file an affidavit within a week. The Supreme Court asked what has been done regarding pollution this Diwali. The court will hear these aspects on November 14.
