Following a plea seeking a ban on illegal pyrolysis industries that use waste tyres as raw material for the production of fuel oil, the NGT (National Green Tribunal) has directed the CPCB (Central Pollution Control Board) to submit a report pertaining to the remedial measures required. A Bench headed by NGT chairperson Justice Adarsh Kumar Goel said, “Before we consider the matter, it appears necessary to obtain a report from the CPCB about the status of compliance of [relevant] rules on the subject and remedial measures required, within three months. The CPCB may compile information on the subject from the relevant quarters.”
