Section 6
Noting the lack of inter-State co-operation, the Hon'ble Supreme Court had, on multiple occasions, directed the presence of Chief Secretaries of the four States in question, namely, Punjab, Haryana, Delhi and Uttar Pradesh to ensure inter -State co -operation. Due to lack of an oversight mechanism over the joint functioning of the States on issues concerning air pollution, and specifically stubble burning, the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Aditya Dubey (minor) and Another vs. Union of India and Others, W.P(C) No. 1135/2020, had further appointed a one-man Monitoring Committee to monitor the measures taken by the States to prevent stubble burning. The Hon'ble Supreme Court has, on numerous occasions sought to improve and propose innovative measures and research initiatives to resolve the problem of air pollution.
