The National Green Tribunal (NGT) on Thursday banned construction and industrial activities in Delhi-NCR till November 14. Further, it said that no trucks from outside or within Delhi would be permitted to transport any construction material.
The NGT directed authorities to implement EPCA's directions to improve ambient air quality. It also directed civic bodies to constitute teams to ensure that there is no burning of waste in Delhi-NCR.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said that a decision on implementing the Odd-Even formula would be taken by today or tomorrow, if the need arose. The green tribunal pulled up the Delhi government, municipal corporations and neighbouring states over pollution levels in the capital and asked them to see the pitiable condition of people in hospitals, reported news agency ANI.
