Supreme Court had raised questions on stubble in 2023

Last year, on December 13, 2023, the Supreme Court had said that burning of stubble was adversely affecting the air quality in Delhi and NCR. In such a situation, burning of stubble must be stopped. The Supreme Court had said that there is a need for judicial monitoring in this matter so that people do not have to face this situation every year. The air quality in the capital Delhi deteriorates every year during the winter season and a hearing is going on in the Supreme Court in this matter.
