Topic Description:

The National Green Tribunal on Friday asked authorities in 122 cities, including Delhi, which lack ambient air quality, to curtail registration of vehicles there if they do not have adequate parking space and instead upgrade the public transport system. A bench headed by NGT Chairperson Justice Adarsh Kumar Goel said environment protection measures require that the number of vehicles in any city must be limited to the available parking space. The tribunal made it clear that the direction must be enforced not only for Delhi but for all 122 non-attainment cities, which do not meet the national ambient air quality parameters, in the country. The green panel asked transport departments of all states and Union territories to assess the available parking capacities in the 122 cities and determine the number of vehicles which can be accommodated in the available parking space.
