The Supreme Court's Justice S Ravindra Bhat on Friday commented on the drastic dip in air quality in Delhi while speaking at a book launch organised at India Habitat Centre..Justice Bhat, who was the Chief Guest for the launch of the book Finding a Straight Line between Twists and Turns by Aseem Chawla, began his speech by commenting on the weather outside. "I will shock you by saying that the only good thing about this morning is this event; the weather outside is not good at all," he said..The air quality in the national capital takes a turn for the worse during the months of October, November and December due to various factors including burning of crop stubble by farmers in the surrounding states of Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, still wind conditions and the soil type of the North Indian plains.Added to these, the pollution caused by the bursting of firecrackers as part of Diwali celebrations contributed to the capital waking up this morning to a blanket of thick smog. While the Supreme Court banned the use of firecrackers other than green crackers, there has been little effect on the air quality in Delhi.
