The Supreme Court on Friday questioned the Delhi government over the entry of trucks into the national capital, which is currently reeling from severe air pollution.
"It is very difficult for us to assume that entry of trucks in Delhi has been stopped," observed a bench of Justices Abhay S Oka and Augustine George Masih.
The counsel appearing for the Delhi government informed the bench that there were 113 entry points, including 13 for trucks. The bench, therefore, said it proposes to direct the Centre to depute police personnel at all 113 points to check trucks' entry into Delhi.
SC is seized on the matter related to air pollution in the Delhi-National Capital Region and the hearing is currently underway.
On November 18, the apex court directed all Delhi-NCR states to immediately set up teams to strictly enforce anti-pollution GRAP 4 restrictions, making it clear that the curbs would continue till further orders.
