New Delhi: The National Green Tribunal has directed the Delhi and Haryana governments to identify and address the sources of pollution in river Yamuna.

DJB, which supplies water to the city, had approached the tribunal demanding that Haryana be asked to take urgent steps to check the “dangerous level of ammonia” in river Yamuna.
