The Supreme Court Friday rapped the Commission for Air Quality Management over its failure to curb air pollution due to crop residue burning.
A bench of Justice Abha S Oka and Justice Augustine George Masih said the air quality panel needs to be more active in its approach.
The top court said efforts are needed to ensure that stubble-burning alternative equipment are used at the grassroots level.
It directed the panel to file a better compliance report.
