Following a plea alleging pollution from an illegal scooter repair market in the Delhi Gate area, the National Green Tribunal has directed authorities to look into the matter and take appropriate action.
A Bench headed by NGT chairperson Justice Adarsh Kumar Goel said: “Let North Municipal Corporation and Delhi Pollution Control Committee jointly look into the matter and take appropriate action.”
The directions came while the NGT was hearing a complaint moved by residents and shopkeepers of Delhi Gate, who alleged that the illegal repair shop was leading to air and noise pollution.
“Allegation in this letter stated that illegal scooter repair market at Delhi Gate is causing air and noise pollution, adversely affecting the public health and peace of the inhabitants,” the Bench said.
