Plea Before NGT Flags Severe Air Pollution Crisis, Seeks Urgent Action

A Petition has been filed before the National Green Tribunal (NGT) highlighting the severe air pollution crisis in India. It states that air quality has deteriorated to such an extent that breathing itself has become a health risk.

It raises concerns about the failure of authorities to effectively control pollution levels and implement existing environmental regulations.

The plea seeks urgent intervention and stronger measures to address the situation and protect public health.

The matter is scheduled to be taken up by the Tribunal for further hearing on May 14, 2026.
