Delhi to see more of odd-even scheme?
New Delhi, Jan 18 (IBNS): The Delhi government on Monday said that the national capital is likely to see the return of the odd-even-formula for private cars, media reports said.
The government has claimed that "all independent experts and (government) departments" feel the scheme is worth reviving after assessing its impact at a meeting Monday.
Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal last Friday said Delhi has proved it can match Singapore in discipline and systems, as the national capital ended a two-week traffic trial of odd-even formula.
He said the pollution level indeed went down and traffic congestion has also decreased in the city.
However, critics of the odd-even policy say while the rule restricting the number of cars are putting commuters in a great difficulty, the air quality in the city has not shown any major improvement.
