[sustran] Re: Emissions from Trucks in New Delhi

[TR Saranathan]

Dear Sir,
Ofcourse ,it is a welcome step. But the problem of one State will be shifted 
to another. The firm solution lies in tackling the source i.e. the engines 
of the truck or alternate eco-friendly fuels and that too uniformly in the 
whole of the country.
