CNG or PNG-based clay oven is not a cost-effective measure: restaurant owners
The East Delhi Municipal Corporation (EDMC) on Tuesday announced a ban on the use of coal and firewood in clay ovens (tandoors) and grills at restaurants under its jurisdiction.
The civic body in an order said that to curb air pollution, restaurants and eateries have been directed to make use of compressed natural gas (CNG), piped natural gas (PNG) or wood charcoal. “Tandoors and grills must be operated on the premises and all the eateries must install an emission control system. Firewood and coal are prohibited and action will be taken against violators,” an EDMC official said.
