Odd-even Car Formula

A day after it implemented the road rationing rule, the Uttarakhand government today withdrew the odd-even traffic formula for private cars in view of the "practical problems" it was causing to the people.

Odd-Even Scheme in Delhi starts today, i.e. November 4 and will be implemented till November 15.

A landmark IIT-Kanpur study, which covered the period 2013-14, said during winters, vehicles are the second largest and the "most consistent" contributing source of pollutants PM10 and PM2.5.

With Delhi's pollution levels increasing rapidly, the Delhi government has decided to implement the Odd-Even Rule once again to check the number of vehicles that will ply on Delhi roads.

The odd-even car rationing scheme is a formula for traffic management, and not a solution to Delhi's high level of pollution primarily due to dust and debris, BJP MP Meenakshi Lekhi said today.

With the odd-even scheme set to return from April 15, the Central government today played down its impact on air pollution, saying a single factor or action cannot substantially reduce pollution levels in the national capital.

Delhi High Court today rejected a plea against exemptions granted to women and two-wheelers in the odd-even car rationing scheme, scheduled to resume from April 15, terming it "premature".

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today said 'jan sabhas' or public meetings will be held across the city to seek public opinion on the odd-even scheme, which will be rolled out as and when "people decide".

The Odd-Even Plan was not exactly welcomed with open arms in the capital city last month when it was announced.

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.

After having completed 11 days of the odd-even scheme, the Society of Indian Automotive Manufacturers (SIAM) has stated that despite significantly alleviating traffic congestion, the effects of the formula on air pollution are as yet unknown.

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.

Several women in the city, caught in a bind over being exempted from the car rationing scheme, are voluntarily opting for carpooling and public transport, saying the "privilege" was at odds with the concept of "equality".
