Delhi's Odd-Even Scheme to Be Decided Next Week

BENGALURU: In the recent face of Delhi’s pollution vows, the AAP Government had planned to curb all diesel vehicles in the state but rather it came out with an odd-even plan to run these vehicles. However, the AAP Government will review its odd-even vehicle rationing scheme next week to decide whether it needs to resort to the anti-pollution measure in the future, according to thehindu.com.

This pilot plan for cutting vehicular emission was launched on January 1^st but the government is neither going to extend odd-even scheme beyond January 15 nor finish it before the 15-day trial period. Here some of the media reports of extending the car-rationing scheme as "false". Delhi Transport Minister Gopal Rai had held a meeting of Coordination Committee with officials concerned on the scheme, said from January 1-8, traffic police, transport and revenue departments have issued 5,893 challans for the violation of odd-even rules so far.

But out of these numbers, only 2,912 challans were issued by SDMs and 2,260 by traffic police. Besides, enforcement wing of the transport department has issued 721 challans for violating odd-even rules so far. Apart from this, 1,943 challans were issued by the transport department to auto drivers for different violations including refusal to drive. To access traffic in wee hours, the government has planned to deploy additional teams of transport department and traffic police to manage traffic.

However, the areas which include these rules are ITO, Ring Road, Outer Ring Road, Connaught Place, Mathura Road, Ashram, New Friends Colony, Nehru Place, Sarai Kale Khan, Hanuman Mandir Marg and Dhaula Kuan.
