SC asks govt to procure data on farm fires from geo-stationary satellites

Quick Summary:

A bench of Justices Abhay S Oka and Augustine George Masih noted that ISRO is taking data from NASA satellites which pass over the NCR region around 10.30 am to 1.30 pm daily and the instances of farm fires which are captured by satellite are only for this limited period.

The Supreme Court on Monday directed the Centre and the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) to procure data from geostationary satellites on farm fire instances instead of from NASA polar-orbiting satellites.

The data of farm fires throughout the day can thus be made available to the state to enable them to take immediate action, it directed.
