In this special report, India Today's Anisha Mathur details the Supreme Court's latest hearing on Delhi's persistent air pollution crisis. The court is now considering a novel suggestion to ease traffic congestion, a major pollution contributor, by relocating or temporarily closing nine MCD toll plazas on the city's borders. Anisha Mathur reports the court directly questioned the authorities, asking: 'Why is it that you are running manned toll booths instead of using technology?'
