New Delhi: Taking cognizance of serious environmental pollution resulting from rampant burning of plastic and leather materials, the National Green Tribunal has ordered the Delhi Police commissioner to prohibit these activities in and around Mundka and Tikri Kalan in west district.
The principal bench of the tribunal headed by chairperson Justice Swatanter Kumar passed these orders during the hearing of two separate cases related to environmental pollution. Delhi High Court had earlier transferred both the cases — filed by city residents Satish Kumar and Mahavir Singh — to the green tribunal for adjudication.
