Worsening Pollution Woes

Burning post-harvest paddy straw in neighboring states contributes significantly to the air pollution crisis.
Judicial Intervention
The Supreme Court, alarmed by the escalating pollution levels, issued a stern remark on Tuesday.
The court emphasized the urgency of preventing pollution-related deaths, instructing the governments of Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan to immediately halt the burning of crop residue in fields.
