\/><\/a>The National Green Tribunal has directed the Election Commission, the Centre and the Central Pollution Control Board to convene a meeting to consider whether to ban the use of campaigning material made of plastic during elections.<\/p>\n<p>A bench headed by NGT Chairperson Justice Adarsh Kumar Goel directed the Election Commission, Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEF&amp;CC) and CPCB to convene a meeting at the earliest, preferably within one week.<\/p>\n<p>The tribunal passed the directions on a petition seeking a direction to the MoEF&amp;CC and the states to prohibit the use of short-life PVC (polyvinyl chloride), synthetic plastic polymer and chlorinated plastic which includes banners, hoarding, etc for promotion and advertising during the poll campaign.<\/p>\n<p>The petition, moved by W Edwin Wilson through advocate Sanjay Upadhyay, claimed that campaigning material made of plastic are used during election and later discarded as waste, which was detrimental to the environment.<\/p>\n<p>The petition also claimed that a letter was sent to the Secretary, MoEF&amp;CC, seeking directions to all state governments and the Election Commission for imposing complete prohibition of PVC hoarding\/ banners\/flexes by implementing and complying with the environmental norms, but no response was received.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In view of the above that while it may not be necessary for the tribunal to go into the merits at this stage, the matter may first be considered in a joint meeting of representatives of Election Commission, MoEF&amp;CC and CPCB at the earliest, preferably within one week, in such manner as may be found viable.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The CPCB will be the nodal agency for compliance and coordination.
