Taking a strong stand on the Delhi air pollution crisis, a Supreme Court bench hearing the matter today said that those sitting in 5-star hotels in Delhi keep blaming farmers for rising air pollution in the national capital. People sitting in Delhi in 5, 7-star hotels criticise how they contribute 4, 30, or 40% to pollution. the Supreme Court said today. The bench reiterated that it is not inclined to penalise the farmers and the state governments should persuade them to stop stubble burning. The Supreme Court is hearing a case filed by a 17-year-old Delhi student on air pollution in Delhi and adjoining areas due to stubble burning.
