The
Times of India, New Delhi, Jan 2017: The Supreme Court on Tuesday warned that
the problem of air pollution was very serious and solutions need to be found
urgently, rather than in years. "This pollution problem is very serious.
If you talk for years for a solution, then it is a problem," a bench of
Justices MB Lokur and PC Pant said, adding that some of the victims of air
pollution are due to inefficient systems and non-implementation of norms. The
observation came after amicus curiae and senior advocate Harish Salve said
there was a need to ensure 100 per cent compliance of Pollution Under
Certificate (PUC) and linking them with the insurance of vehicles done every
year.
