The Delhi Pollution Control Committee has suggested accepting the results of reports by IITs in Bombay and Delhi and using the already erected towers as museums to share technical information about air pollution control.
The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has sent notices to the chief secretaries of all states and the Union Ministry of Jal Shakti (MoJS) for non-compliance with the tribunal s order on pollution in various river stretches. The tribunal had directed the MoJS to develop a monitoring mechanism for pollution control and river rejuvenation. The states were also instructed to address sewage and effluent treatment gaps. The NGT has requested a report from the authorities on compliance with its order. The matter will be taken up again on December 13.
