Can Gadkari come to explain govt proposal for introducing EVs, asks SC
The Supreme Court Wednesday expressed desire to interact with the Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari on the proposal for gradual conversion of all public transport and government vehicles into electric vehicles (EVs) to curb air pollution.
The apex court, however, did not seek presence of the minister after Additional Solicitor General A N S Nadkarni raised objection.
A bench, headed by Chief Justice S A Bobde, enquired from Nadkarni as to whether the minister can come over for an interaction to assist this court.
“Can the minister come to Supreme Court and explain proposal to introduce non-polluting vehicles run on electricity/hydrogen,” the bench asked the law officer.
