The top court made it clear that it wants farm fires to stop. "We suggested a methodology; you do it however you want. But farm fires must be stopped. Some emergency measures are required to stop the farm fires," Supreme Court said.
Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal also dismissed the report that said Delhi has the most polluted water. He stated that a city's water quality cannot be checked by just 11 samples.
Supreme Court had sought AQI data to determine if there had been a significant drop in the pollution levels of Delhi following the implementation of the odd-even scheme.
The Supreme Court directed the Delhi Government to produce data or records to prove that the odd-even scheme has reduced pollution in Delhi by November 8, even as autos and taxis continue to ply the roads.
