New Delhi: India's top court on Friday ordered authorities in the smog-choked capital New Delhi to establish checkpoints on all 113 roads into the city to stop the entry of polluting vehicles.
The traffic-clogged megacity of more than 30 million people has been wreathed in poisonous smog this month, with pollution levels surging more than 60 times the World Health Organization's recommended daily limit earlier this week.
Delhi authorities have launched several piecemeal initiatives to tackle what has become an annual public health crisis each winter, with little success.
One measure currently in effect bans the entry of diesel-powered trucks and other commercial vehicles -- a policy the Supreme Court said was not being adequately enforced.
"So far as compliance is concerned, we are not satisfied," the court said, according to the Indian legal news website Livelaw.
