ANI New Delhi

The National Green Tribunal on Monday stayed its ban order on entry of diesel vehicles older than ten years into the national capital for another two weeks.

Earlier on Sunday, the truck drivers said that they will go on strike in New Delhi and the national capital region (NCR) starting April 13 midnight, in protest against the National Green Tribunal (NGT) ruling.

The NGT had passed its order in a bid to improve the capital's deteriorating air quality which is causing a lot of health problems.

The order follows a similar one passed by the Tribunal in November last year banning all vehicles over 15 years old from plying in Delhi. But the state government has failed to implement that order.
