New Delhi: The National Green Tribunal (NGT) on Tuesday gave three weeks time to all states to provide information on the pollution levels in the worst affected cities in their respective states.

NGT also wants all the states to submit data on vehicular population, pollution from dust, burning and the two most polluted cities.

The NGT on Monday had slammed the state governments for not taking a clear stand on pollution and vehicle density in major cities stating that sufficient time were given to the concerned states to provide the data.

The next hearing is on July 11, 2016.
