NEW DELHI: While hearing a petition against high air pollution levels in Delhi, the National Green Tribunal bench on Friday said it will widen the scope on the case to include all other states affected by pollution.
NGT issued notices to chief secretaries of all states and union territories seeking status on prevention of air pollution with regard to vehicular traffic.
Notices will also be issued to state governments directing them to come up with ideas to counter air pollution in respective states.
Earlier this week, National Green Tribunal stayed for 2 weeks its order to impound diesel vehicles more than 10 years old plying in the national capital.
The green tribunal has sought suggestions from Delhi government on better implementation of its order by May 1.
The National Green Tribunal had last week prohibited diesel vehicles that are over 10 years old from plying in the capital.
