SC to hear petition for banning diesel cars in 13 cities tomorrow

New Delhi: As Delhiites try and understand the 'even/odd' formula on private cars, the war on pollution in the capital is far from over.

On Tuesday, the Supreme Court will hear petition for banning diesel vehicles in 13 cities, including Delhi. The court will consider suggestions from senior counsel Harish Salve to control private diesel cars that spread air pollution in Delhi.

This even as the National Green Tribunal (NGT) has agreed to hear a plea on Tuesday seeking modification of its order which said that diesel-run vehicles will not be registered in Delhi.

NGT had submitted a report to the Delhi government on Thursday in which it was pointed out sale of diesel vehicles has been rising in Delhi.
