Odd-even 2.0

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.

Traffic crawled in the national capital during odd-even 2.0 as lakhs of private as well as CNG vehicles that were not present during its first phase, plied on the city's roads as schools functioned and CNG cars increased, a Delhi government panel said in its report.

Delhi's air quality plunged today with monitoring stations recording a spike in the level of respirable as well as gaseous pollutants coming as it did into a week of the odd-even scheme's second phase.

If Delhi had it tough on Monday, its government will have the city know that it did not have it easy either. But for all that trouble, transport minister Gopal Rai claimed today, pollution was down in many places.

The real test for the second phase of the odd-even scheme in the national capital will be today, the first working day since the road-rationing measure was rolled out in the city on April 15.

Arvind Kejriwal's odd-even experiment to combat Delhi's infamous pollution and traffic jams returned to the capital on Friday and will run for 15 days, till April 30.

The Delhi government is all set to roll out the second phase of the odd-even scheme tomorrow with 2,000 traffic personnel, 580 enforcement officials and over 5,000 civil defence volunteers being deployed on the roads of the national capital for 15 days.

With second phase of the odd-even scheme set to roll out from April 15, experts will be keeping a close eye on gaseous pollutants such as ozone which spikes during the summer season, while Centre's SAFAR will be monitoring ultra-fine particles.
