Children are suffering: NGT raps Kejriwal govt for failing to submit action plan on air pollution
Mangalore Today News Network
New Delhi, Dec 04, 2017 : The National Green Tribunal (NGT) today rapped the Arvind Kejriwal-led Delhi government for failing to submit the action plan to tackle air pollution.
The court gave a 48-hour deadline to the Delhi government to file its action plan report on steps taken to fight air pollution in the Capital. Haryana and Uttar Pradesh have already filed their action plan reports.
The court came down heavily on the Delhi government and observed that while the "situation is turning from poor to worse and children are suffering", the Kejriwal government has not filed its action plan yet.
NGT also slammed authorities for holding India-Sri Lanka cricket match at Feroz Shah Kotla stadium in Delhi despite hazardous air quality.
The Delhi government said that as the chief secretary and environment secretary have been recently changed, it needed time to file the action plan on pollution.
The court, however, asked the Kejriwal government to submit its report by Wednesday and fixed December 6 as the next date for hearing in the matter.
