Odd Even January 1

Less congestion in Delhi owing to the odd-even car rationing scheme is shielding people from "direct exposure" to pollutants, especially in and around areas of high car density such as traffic junctions, experts opine.

Delhi's Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will lead the city's odd-even experiment today - he will provide carpooling in his official vehicle to two ministers- Gopal Rai, the Transport Minister, and Health Minister Satyendar Jain.

The fact that there are so many exemptions means enforcing the Delhi government's odd-even scheme meant to cut down on vehicular pollution from January 1 will be difficult, Delhi Police Chief BS Bassi said today.

Schools in the national capital have been ordered to shut down for 15 days starting January 1 during the trial period of odd-even vehicle formula by the Delhi government. School buses would run under the fleet of Delhi Transport Corporation or DTC from January 1-15.

After coming under a lot of scrutiny and criticism, the new odd-even formula for private vehicles proposed by the AAP government might possibly turn out to be an effective move. According to recent reports, once the rule is enforced from January 1, nearly 10 lakh privet vehicles in Delhi will stay off roads.

Government schools in Delhi have been asked to remain closed between January 1 and 15 and private schools will be advised to follow suit.

Delhi will have an additional 6000 buses, to double the number currently in use, running on the roads from January 1 to 15, when the government implements its ambitious odd/even plan for cars to curb pollution.

The odd-even rule for cars in Delhi will be implemented from January 1, between 8 am and 8 pm, the Delhi government announced today after a meeting chaired by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal today said that the government will withdraw its new rule to allow cars with odd and even registration numbers on alternate days to be introduced from January 1 if it creates too many problems for the people.

The AAP government's ambitious plan of allowing every car in Delhi to run only on alternate days from January 1, and strengthening the public transport system as an alternative, has already run into a wall. Agencies that run public transport in Delhi have said the deadline set by the government is impossible to meet.
