As toxic smog once again blanketed the Capital, the Supreme Court on Tuesday pulled up the Delhi government for failing to protect the Ridge — the city’s “green lung” — and issued sweeping directions to safeguard it from encroachment and neglect.

The court gave statutory backing to the long-defunct Delhi Ridge Management Board (DRMB), expanded its composition, and directed it to function as a single-window authority for all matters related to the Ridge and the Morphological Ridge.

A bench of Chief Justice of India Bhushan R Gavai and Justice K Vinod Chandran said, “The Board shall act as a single-window authority insofar as the Delhi Ridge and the Morphological Ridge is concerned,” while restructuring the DRMB as a 14-member body under the Environment (Protection) Act.
