As the New Year arrives, millions of Delhi residents are warming up to the radical changes they have to bring in their daily commuting in the world's most polluted capital.However, the Delhi High Court today has asked Arvind Kejriwal to offer an explanation why women and two-wheelers are exempt from the policy.
Since 1st January, the Delhi government will only allow cars with odd-numbered licence plates to drive on odd-numbered dates. The rule would be in place from 8am to 8pm every day except Sunday. The trail will run for an initial two-week period. However, the government has said that it will consider longer-term implementation as well.
Some have dismissed the idea. "They will only be cheating themselves with 'jugaad'. There is no magic button that will make the pollution disappear. We must act now," said Delhi Transport Minister Gopal Rai to news agency AFP.
Chief Justice Of India TS Thakur will willingly follow the policy despite being exempted.
