New Delhi: The National Green Tribunal has warned the Delhi government over an ad-hoc appointee holding the post of chairman of the Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC). They asked it to make a regular appointment within three months of the time. 
The tribunal rapped the Delhi government that in case it fails to complete the appointment process of the chairman, then the person now holding the post shall cease to function. The tribunal said it cannot remain a silent spectator in respect of improper and illegal working of pollution control board and its consequence and repercussion to the public at large.

At present, the environment secretary of the Delhi government is holding the additional charge of the chairman's post.
A vacation bench headed by Justice R S Rathore said the post of the chairman is a sensitive and responsible post as the entire environmental status of the state depends on the functioning of the pollution control board.
