Travelling to the IGI Airport to fly out or receive someone? In a series of steps to curb noise pollution at the IGI airport, the National Green Tribunal (NGT) on Friday directed that all coaches, buses and other vehicles plying at the airport here should be CNG operated and must comply with the prescribed emission standards. "Non-CNG buses/coaches or other vehicles plying at the airport should be converted to CNG within six months from now," the bench headed by Chairperson Justice Swatanter Kumar said. The tribunal directed the ministry and other authorities to take measures for reducing noise pollution in terms of the report submitted by the environment ministry. The green panel declined to impose night curfew on landing or take-off of aircraft at the airport and making the houses near the airport soundproof.
