The Supreme Court criticized the Delhi government for not fully implementing the firecracker ban during Diwali, resulting in severe air pollution in the city. Delhi's air quality plummeted, with PM2.5 levels crossing hazardous levels. The Court has ordered the Delhi Police Commissioner and the AAP government to submit affidavits within a week, outlining steps taken to enforce the ban and future measures. Noting rising instances of stubble burning, the Court also directed Punjab and Haryana to submit reports. Delhi's AQI breached the 400 mark on Monday, making it the world’s most polluted city post-Diwali.
