Switch industrial units to cleaner fuels: SC
Seeking to address Delhi’s air pollution woes, the Supreme Court Friday asked the Centre and states in NCR to submit a proposal “to switch all industrial units” in the region “to piped natural gas (PNG) or cleaner fuels in a time-bound manner”, failing which, it said, such units should be closed down.
A bench headed by Chief Justice of India N V Ramana said this while taking note of “immediate steps” taken by the Centre and Commission for Air Quality Management to address Delhi’s air pollution woes, including the setting up of an Enforcement Task Force to ensure execution of the Commission’s directions.
