Mehra replied that there are 69 machines and more can be procured on a war footing.Delhi government also informed the apex court that it is ready to sanction funds for procurement of mechanised road sweeping machines as soon as the MCDs specify their requirements.To this, the apex court asked it to take action and don't wait for the court to pass directions.Delhi government also informed the top court that it is ready to declare lockdown but since air has no boundary, the Centre has to bring all NCR states on board and declare a lockdown in the entire NCR region.The top court was hearing plea relating to rising pollution levels in Delhi-NCR.Following the action after being nudged by the Supreme Court to curb the rising air pollution in the national capital, Delhi's air quality on Monday witnessed marginal improvement as the air quality in the capital city reached the lower end of 'very poor' category with Air Quality Index (AQI) at 318 (overall), according to the System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting And Research (SAFAR).The pollution level in the National Capital Region (NCR), especially Noida and Gurugram, have also shown slight improvement.
