The National Green Tribunal (NGT) had, on November 26, ordered all vehicles more than 15 years old, off Delhi streets to clean up the capital’s air
The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has now sought from Delhi, Haryana and UP, lists of diesel vehicles over 10 years old and petrol ones over 15 years old in Delhi.
These two bans apply to both private and commercial vehicles.

If these vehicles cause a lot of pollution, then it may be better to ban. But there should be an alternative in the form of cheaper (subsidized) electric vehicles powered by solar energy, etc. before they enforce the ban.

The tribunal will be sidelined by democratic action of people who will not comply.
The government will obey democracy.
Net result, nothing of significance will happen.
Everything is flooding now.Vehicles are no exceptions.Some sort of ban is a necessity.
