Delhi marches out on the odd-even

Delhi's novel odd-even formula for cars kicked off today as a radical step to lower down smog in the world's most polluted city. Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said that he was "overwhelmed by the response" the citizens of Delhi had given. Volunteers were seen on roads, holding placards explaining the rules. Today, only odd numbered cars will be allowed on the road.

While Tourism Minister Kapil Mishra took a bike to work; Imran Hussain, the Environment Minister used an e-rickshaw to commute to the government headquarters on odd-numbered dates, as his car had an even-numbered license plate.

1st day report card: public speaks

Delhi's odd-even rule drew praise from some who called it the "futuristic approach" and yet others dubbed it as "impractical" but everyone agreed that there was less congestion on the roads. People said that it was difficult to instantly get used to public transport but that they were making efforts. Some medical practitioners, however, complained that medical personnel should be exempted.

Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal said it was not possible to implement the odd-even traffic rationing scheme on a permanent basis. The current plan will reach completion on 15 January.

'Fake' number plates, stickers and more: the cheaters

While the Delhi government tried to implement the new odd- even rule, the flipside of it was the roaring business in fake number plates, and stickers to alter the last digit of the cars in keeping with the odd-even formula. The officials also reported that some people were using 'reversible' plates to avoid being restricted from taking out their vehicles.

Quote
First offender and the very first excuse

The first offender to be penalised for taking out an even numbered car said that he was going to office and "there was no convenient transportation facility from his residence near Pari Chowk, the intersection between Noida and Greater Noida".

Opposition on odd-even rule

As the AAP government introduced its odd-even scheme in Delhi, the BJP said it was done without sufficient arrangements while the Congress chose to 'wait and watch' before commenting on the road-rationing move. The pollution levels in Delhi changed only minimally, mostly because the drop in temperatures and the New Year fireworks. BJP criticised AAP calling it 'big success' within hours of its implementation.

Data
More buses and metros to tackle the rush

As part of measures to meet the challenges of odd-even scheme, additional number of buses and metros have been fielded. 5,500 buses have been pressed into service, and Metro is expected to carry 32 lakh commuters, as against the previous data of 26 lakh daily.

Can odd-even be restricted to a week: Delhi HC

The Delhi High Court questioned the state government why it was essential to continue the odd-even traffic rule for further than a week, and asked if it could close the project directed towards curbing Delhi's pollution. The HC said that government didn't "have enough public transport to ferry the public." HC also wanted updates on changes in the level of pollution since 1 January.
