Pollution levels in Delhi-NCR continue to be a growing cause for concern. With the Air Quality Index (AQI) crossing 300 in several areas, the Supreme Court held a crucial hearing on the issue. A bench led by the CJI questioned why pollution levels are rising despite various measures being taken. During the proceedings, senior advocate Aparajita Singh, acting as *amicus curiae*, remarked that the current situation is akin to smoking 30 cigarettes a day—noting that the pollution is even affecting people’s voices.
