Delhi govt rapped for opposing technology to fight pollution

• Monday | 19th August, 2019

The meeting focussed on the implementation of remote sensing devices to monitor pollution emitted by vehicles, which is referred as on-road emissions monitoring. The court asked the Delhi government counsel to identify the ground for opposing the implementation of the technology but could not get a convincing reply. The amicus had requested the top court to ask the Delhi Transport Department and MoRTH to respond to its report on the implementation of the technology. These rules will define the scope of the remote sensing programme to enforce and monitor on-road emissions. Moreover, this remote sensing technology can scan thousands of vehicle every day.
