New Delhi, Dec 2: The Supreme Court on Thursday pulled up the Delhi government for opening the schools amid the rising air pollution levels in the city.
The SC asked the Delhi government when the government implemented work from home for adults then why children are being forced to go to school.
“We feel there is nothing happening, in spite of air pollution levels rising,” said the Supreme Court while hearing today.
The apex court also told the Centre and Delhi government that if they fail to take any measures to control pollution, then it will pass an order. It has also given a 24 hours deadline to the Centre and Delhi government to come up with a serious plan for implementation of air pollution control measures. SC is now to hear the matter tomorrow at 10 am.
Meanwhile, the Centre told the apex court that industries found non-compliant were closed and State govts were intimated. Things are going on at jet speed and officers are working round the clock.
Notably, Delhi government reopened the schools on November 29 for all the classes despite the increasing air pollution level.
