Odd-even Car Policy

The Green panel directed the counsel appearing for the Delhi government to be ready with all the requisite data and show before it the reason for implementing the latest odd-even scheme.

As the Delhi government is set to implement the odd-even scheme from Monday to curb the escalating pollution levels in the national capital, it also promised to ensure no price surge in cab services by Ola and Uber, as commuters would be prone to fall short on transport options. Surge pricing is a policy implemented by private taxi companies when t...

As many as 601 violators of the odd-even scheme were challaned today, the 12th day of implementation of car-rationing measures in the national capital.

A majority of the capital's residents have told a survey that the odd-even policy for private cars has been implemented well, a sizeable number felt autos and taxis were fleecing them, even as those who do not want the practice to continue outnumbered others.

As many as 753 violators of the odd-even scheme were challaned today, the 11th day of the car-rationing measure's implementation in the National Capital.

A week into Delhi's Odd-Even trial, it's obvious the scheme won't bring down pollution single-handedly. Science makes it clear factors like temperature, wind, humidity, etc affect air quality.

Delhi Police Commissioner B S Bassi on Friday did his bit in implementing the odd-even scheme and stopped two even-numbered private cars plying on the road, but both turned out to be CNG vehicles, which are exempted under the initiative.

In order to ensure strict implementation of the odd-even plan, Delhi government on Wednesday issued an order to various agencies, including the DMRC and the civic bodies, asking them to allow in their parking lots only odd-numbered cars on odd dates and vice versa.

With the Metro and DTC buses expected to be crowded on the days that Delhi follows the odd-even license plate rule, some residents in the city are opting to cycle instead.

The Delhi government has tied up with Twitter to bring real-time information on public transport to commuters on the social media during the 15 days the odd-even scheme is implemented.

The CISF will pump in its "reserve" forces and deploy over 500 additional personnel in order to bolster security arrangements in the wake of an expected rise in passenger footfall during the odd-even traffic roll out in New Delhi.

Hitting back at AAP for its criticism of Robert Vadra who had questioned giving exemptions in odd-even policy for vehicles, Congress today likened the Delhi government's initiative to curb pollution to Delhi Sultanate ruler "Muhammad bin Tughlaq's act".

It was already announced that the odd-even formula will be enforced from January 1, 2016 for a trial period of 15 days but today there were a bunch of clarifications that were made by the Delhi CM who spoke about how the formula will be implemented.

Why is the reaction to practically everything that seems a bit difficult a resounding "No". Why don't we want to give things a chance even in cases designed to improve lives?

Delhi's status is beyond that of an emergency. The warning signs have been around for years. And every government, in an attempt to appear to be addressing health and sanitation concerns, has been responsible for precisely the mess we find ourselves in today.
