NEW DELHI -- The National Green Tribunal on Friday gave authorities in the national capital two more weeks to implement its ban on 10-year-old diesel vehicles. The NGT has put its order on hold till May 18.

The Supreme Court has dismissed a plea against the NGT's order banning old vehicles from plying in the national capital.

The apex court reportedly observed that the NGT should be assisted and not discouraged on the matter.

The NGT has banned diesel vehicles more than 10-years-old and petrol vehicles over 15-years-old from Delhi roads.
