If we have to give precedence to environment and public health such direction needs to be adhered to without delay and default. <br id=\"ms__id900\" \/><br id=\"ms__id901\" \/> &#8220;A contention has been raised that the ban of vehicles would be unfair as these would cause pollution of other cities hence shifting of pollution.
