Calling the continued operation of illegal industrial units a "serious environmental violation" creating air and water pollution and posing a health hazard to residents of Delhi, the National Green Tribunal (NGT) has directed the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), North-East Delhi, to appear and explain why the police failed to support and protect a joint inspection team tasked with probing such units.
