A hearing on air pollution in Delhi led to an unusual admission in the Supreme Court on Monday by Chief Justice of India H L Dattu — his grandson “looks like a ninja” because of the mask he’s forced to wear. The Supreme Court has asked for a “quick positive response” from the Centre and Delhi government on the possibility of a pollution tax on commercial vehicles passing through the Capital, which has the dirtiest air in the world.

POLLUTED air has forced the citizens of the Capital at the receiving end of respiratory and other related problems. Endorsing the worrisome trend, the findings of a recent air quality monitoring survey — released by Greenpeace — have found that the deadly PM2.5 levels in Delhi are 10 times higher than the safety limit prescribed by the World Health Organisation ( WHO) and four times more than the Indian safety limit.
