Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh (UP) government told the Supreme Court of India that 'polluted air coming from Pakistan which in turn is affecting Delhi' during a hearing. 

The UP government has said to the Supreme Court that the closure of industries would affect the state's sugar cane and milk manufacturers. UP is in the downwind; the air is coming principally from Pakistan. 

To this remark, Chief Justice of India NV Ramana made a humorous point stating, "so do you want to ban industries in Pakistan?"

Throughout the hearing, lawyer Ranjit Kumar put questions on the closure of sugar mills. He stated that this would create a problem for the farmers, while these mills are 90 km from Delhi. 

In such a state, 8 hours is very less for China factories. On this, the Supreme Court stated, 'You go to the commission, tell them, they will decide again.
