Manali-Rohtang Pass: NGT slams HP govt for delay in procurement of e-vehicles

New Delhi, Jan 21(UNI) The National Green Tribunal (NGT) today slammed the Himachal Pradesh government over delay in deciding the mode of environmental friendly vehicles which it would prefer to ply on the 51-km-long Manali-Rohtang Pass, an eco-sensitive area, in order to curb pollution.
The observation came after the state government told the bench that it has not yet decided about the mode of transport in the eco-sensitive area and it was thinking to purchase electric buses after having tested CNG buses.
"You have taken 1.5 years, first to say yes to CNG and now you want to divert from CNG. You may make a statement before us stating as to which mode of transport you would prefer in this region," a bench headed by NGT Chairperson Justice Swatanter Kumar said.
