New Delhi, Dec 14 : The Centre on Monday informed the Supreme Court that since December 3, stubble burning is not an issue for air pollution in Delhi. The top court asked the Centre to apprise it of the steps taken so far by the Commission of Air Quality in the National Capital Region and adjoining areas to address air pollution.
Additional Solicitor General Aishwarya Bhati, representing the Centre, submitted before a bench headed by Chief Justice S. A. Bobde that since December 3 stubble burning is not an issue for air pollution and the government will file a detailed affidavit on the steps taken by the commission so far to address air pollution. Apparently stubble burning had stopped after that date.
