The National Green Tribunal has ordered an inspection of petrol pumps across Delhi-NCR. This is mainly due to the adulteration of Petrol and Diesel at fuel stations across the Capital.
A bench headed by NGT ChairpersonJustice Swatanter Kumar constituted a committee comprising officials from Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), Ministry of Petroleum and Gas and concerned state pollution control boards to conduct joint inspection at any 10 petrol pumps.
The Panel also instructed authorities to carry out surprise inspections of 50 two and four-wheelers in Delhi-NCR to determine emission levels.
"Let the committee comply with our order sensu stricto (strict sense). They would take fuel samples and analyse the same in the laboratory of the state concerned and Central Pollution Control Board. Samples should also be taken from NCR," the bench said.
The directions came while hearing a plea filed by Delhi resident Cherub Singla seeking directions to inspect the fuel quality at petrol pumps across the country.
