Luxury car maker Mercedes-Benz has received a notice from the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board, accusing it of violating environmental rules.

The carmaker has been asked to respond to the notice within 15 days.
"Sub-divisional officers of the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board had inspected Mercedes Benz's Chakan plant. Several pollution rules were found to be violated in it. Therefore, the company has been issued a notice and asked to respond within 15 days," Jagannath Salunkhe, regional officer of the state pollution control board, has said.
