NGT order for Pollution by Rail Locomotives
Sensing that a lot being happening on front of curbing pollution in cities with total ignorance to railway diesel engines
which consumes mammoth quantity of fuel every year a dialogue was
initiated with Central Pollution Control Board.However, this central
agency showed utter reluctance in handling the issue and tried to
impress that it is a very difficult subject and except Europe
& US nowhere else such standards are in force and agency itself is
incapable of drawing emissions parameters. A case was filed with NGT and
after hearing the case for 11 months a direction has been issued to
CPCB, M/o Railway, Indian Railways, IIT-Delhi, M/o Petroleum to formulate standards within a period of six months and implement the same.
