"We hereby direct RTO, Delhi to deregister all diesel vehicles which are more than 10 years old," a bench headed by NGT Chairperson Justice Swatanter Kumar said.

The tribunal passed the order after noting submissions of Delhi Police which said that it has made continuous attempts to stop vehicles which were more than 10 years old from plying on the roads of the national capital.

The NGT had taken Delhi government to task for its failure to implement its order banning such vehicles from plying on the roads

The NGT asked the Centre, Delhi government and the Central Pollution Control Board to submit a report on capping the total number of vehicles, scrapping old vehicles and incentives for disposing old vehicles etc
