Delhi-NCR air quality continues to be in 'Very Poor' category, toxic foam seen floating on surface of Yamuna

India TV News  

Delhi on Tuesday continues to be covered in a blanket of smog in the mornings as the air quality in the city remains in 'Very Poor' category as per Central Pollution Control Board and toxic foam was seen floating on the surface of Yamuna River in Delhi's Kalindi Kunj area. Despite receiving hundreds of pollution-related complaints, the CPCB's response shows no record of any action taken against officers across Delhi-NCR for failing to address these complaints, as mandated by a Supreme Court order dated November 26, 2018, Gupta said. Last week, the Commission for Air Quality Management raised concerns over the slow pace of complaint resolution and the growing backlog of air pollution-related cases in the national capital. The Centre' panel tasked with improving air quality in Delhi-NCR emphasised the need for a more proactive approach to addressing complaints, stating that delays in resolving issues hinder the effective implementation of air quality management measures.
