We want to know from you why didn&#8217;t your authorities sprinkle water on roads earlier? Why can&#8217;t you use helicopters to create artificial rain to control dust pollution. Are they only meant to carry your officials,&#8221; asked a bench headed by NGT Chairperson justice Swatanter Kumar.<\/p>\n<p>The observations came as the bench was about to start the day&#8217;s proceedings, saying the smog, which has continued to engulf the capital for the eighth day today, was affecting the health of people, especially children, and the AAP government should take some immediate steps to handle the situation.<\/p>\n<p>The tribunal also came down heavily on the neighbouring states of Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan over crop burning in their areas and asked them to take strict action against the violators.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What are you doing to control crop burning in your states? 70 per cent of agricultural land is burning in Punjab.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t you owe some responsibility? People are dying out of air pollution and you are doing nothing.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;All the states are shifting burden from one to another.<\/p>\n<p>You people don&#8217;t worry about people&#8217;s health.
