Why in news
The Supreme Court sought a report from the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) on incidents of stubble burning and action taken against these occurrences.
Last year, the Supreme Court had directed Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Delhi to ensure stubble burning was “forthwith” stopped as an immediate measure to protect lives and health of people.
The court had also cautioned States against reducing pollution into a “political game”.
The case on stubble burning coming up in the Supreme Court coincides with the Haryana Assembly election.
