The NGT also directed neighbouring states to submit an action plan on steps to curb pollution within two weeks. The National Green Tribunal (NGT) on Friday permitted trucks to enter Delhi and directed neighbouring states to submit an action plan on steps to curb pollution within two weeks. The Green Court said that it won't interfere in administrative order on the entry of trucks, but hence the entry will continue into Delhi with strict regulations by the authorities concerned. However, the green court has refused to lift a ban on industrial activities causing pollution in Delhi-NCR region. The NGT also directed all state governments to prepare action plans that will be filed by Chief Secretaries of the states to control air pollution.
