Uncontrolled burning of paddy stubbles by Punjab farmers appears to be again putting the health of residents in the National Capital Region at risk, with Delhi's air quality falling sharply in the past two days even as farm fires peak in Punjab.

The capital’s air quality is deteriorating due to smog conditions.

NEW DELHI: At around midnight on Sunday, a group of experts and officials were at Delhi's border with Gurgaon for a surprise inspection. What they learnt is this - the Supreme Court had imposed a green tax of Rs. 700 and Rs. 1,300 on commercial vehicles entering Delhi, but on Day 1, not a single rupee had been charged.

In conversation with Sunita Narain, Director General, Centre for Science & Environment (CSE) & a noted environmentalist.

Is your love for red and processed meat getting you into trouble? The World Health Organisation seems to think so. It has released a report stating that consumption of red and processed meat is linked to cancer of the stomach, colon and pancreas. But is a renouncement of meat the answer? Nutritionists differ, claiming that not all meat proteins can be replicated by plant products. On Agenda, we debate an altered Hamlet dilemma - to eat or not to eat, that is the question!

In order to curb air pollution in Delhi, the National Green Tribunal has ordered that the commercial vehicles entering the national capital will have to pay environmental compensation charge, besides toll tax.

The alarmingly rising rate of pollution is making breathing difficult for Delhi’s residents, including the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, who proposed an additional environmental tax on all commercial vehicles in order to address the capital’s pollution woes.

With the Supreme Court wanting to strengthen the National Green Tribunal's order imposing environment cess on non-Delhi bound trucks, we ask on Agenda if the polluter is getting away by paying a nominal fee and is the tax antidote the right treatment for pollution poison. We get you reactions for and against the Green court's order and why some think it's not a viable solution.
