    The Supreme Court will hear today the Delhi Air Pollution matter. A bench of Justice Abhay Oka and Justice AG Masih will hear the case.

    On Thursday, the Court sought the response of NCR states for their "abject failure" in implementing GRAL IV measures. It also sought CAQM suggestions on moving from GRAP III or GRAP II.

    The Court also emphasized the need for a mechanism to monitor instances of stubble burning throughout the day, emphasising that the current satellite monitoring for only a few hours of the day is not sufficient.

    The Court also said that it will take a call on ordering the ban on firecrackers in the Delhi-NCR.
