Select the answer using the code given below.

Accepted Answer

2 only

Explanation: The passage explicitly states: "When diesel buses were stopped, CNG supply had to be assured." This directly validates Statement 2. Statement 1 is incorrect because thermal power plants were required to "clean up or shut down"—shutting down was one option, not a mandatory summary action. Statement 3 is incorrect because the Supreme Court banned pet coke, while the Delhi Government banned coal (later extended to NCR). Therefore, only Statement 2 is correct, making Option 3 the correct answer.
