Odd-even January

The minister said that Eastern Peripheral Expressway will be completed by January and along with Delhi- Meerut Expressway project and other projects worth Rs 40,000 crore to decongest Delhi will contribute significantly in curbing pollution.

Odd-numbered cars are allowed to run on odd dates while even-numbered cars can only run on even dates. In 2016, the scheme was enforced twice -- January 1-15 and April 15-30.

The Delhi government has spent around Rs 5 crore in publicising the two rounds of the odd-even scheme, implemented for fifteen days each in January and April respectively.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday claimed that the odd-even scheme reduced pollution by at least 15 per cent in January but a green body termed it "wrong" saying the car-rationing experiment only helped manage peak levels of pollution.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today said the implementation of the odd-even scheme in January did not lower pollution "as much as expected" but it significantly helped reduce traffic congestion in the city.

Will the Arvind Kejriwal government's Odd-Even scheme be extended? Transport minister Gopal Rai said on Friday that the state government will decide after analysing pollution data collected till January 15.

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.

The cut in vehicular emission due to rolling out of the odd-even scheme has resulted "definitive decline" in levels of PM2.5 pollutants, Delhi Government said today while claiming success of the restrictions unveiled on January 1.

The real test for Arvind Kejriwal's Odd-Even anti-pollution rule began on Monday, with Delhi getting back to work after a long weekend. Today is January 4, which means that only cars with even registration numbers are allowed on the capital's roads.
