NGT puts ban on registration of new diesel-run vehicles in Delhi

In a significant measure to curb pollution level, the National Green Tribunal today ordered that new diesel-run vehicles will not be registered in Delhi. A bench headed by NGT Chairperson Justice Swatanter Kumar said there will be no renewal of registration of diesel run vehicles which are more than 10-year-old.<br/><br/>The green panel questioned Delhi government's odd-even formula for vehicles to check pollution in the city, saying it may not achieve the desired objective. It said the odd-even formula for vehicles may encourage people to buy two cars.<br/><br/>The panel directed Centre and state governments to consider not to buy any diesel vehicles for their departments. The Delhi government had last week decided that private vehicles with odd and even registration numbers will ply on odd and even dates from first January next year for two weeks.
