He ' s one of the wealthiest people on earth , 10 m is probably a couple days ' profit . <| sep |> Yes this is true however I thought it would be perfect for this sub . <| sep |> So let me get this straight , a product which is not used all round the year , which is not the major cause of the pollution when it is used , and it is ok to ban it because of pollution ? It ' s ok to ban it because the people affected by it want it banned . The permit approach is better , but courts cannot legislate . I guess the Delhi govt will have to haggle with the courts now to put that in place . I personally am happy with the current position more than the old one . The ban seems like an improvement . More people are unhappy so they can move the needle in their direction . Eventually there will be compromise . I do not think the revenue will generate meaningful taxes , you simply cannot allow them at levels that would produce those numbers . Like I said , a regulation policy which is practically a ban with some exceptions would work , not one like Alcohol or Cigarettes .
