[Technoglitch]

Arjun Gopal, Aarav Bhandari and Zoya Rao Bhasin, all aged between 6 and 14 months, who knocked the doors of the Supreme Court seeking immediate steps to curb Delhi's fatal air pollution including ban on fire crackers during Diwali, won the first round on Thursday.

Admitting their petition, a bench headed by chief justice HL Dattu issued notices to the Delhi government, Delhi Pollution Control Board and the Centre seeking their response by October 16.

The special social justice bench of the court will hear the matter on that day.

Appearing for the infants, who moved court through their legal guardians, senior lawyer Kapil Sibal alleged that the Delhi government had `387 crore to combat pollution, but at least 87% of the funds lie unused.

[Technoglitch]

For their health.

 

[IndianMascot]

He would have said. Papa Papa, I am scared of firecrackers. Should we dial 102 to stop this.

And the papa would have got the idea to perform this stunt and gain publicity instantly.

Yeah. Ofcourse. Infact its an unique way to put a very nice thing forward even if moto behind it might be publicity too.

But how come kids between 6 months to 14 months understand about pollution and environment

They only would have started recognising colors and started speaking dad and mom. Very strange
