There will be no odd-even traffic restriction scheme in Delhi at this time, Environment Minister Gopal Rai said Friday afternoon, shortly after the Supreme Court left the decision on its implementation to the ruling Aam Aadmi Party.
The odd-even car scheme will not be implemented in Delhi from November 13 as the air quality has improved after light rains, Delhi Environment minister Gopal Rai said on Friday.
A bench headed by Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul made clear on Friday that the decision on introducing the odd-even car rationing scheme in the national capital has to be taken by the government and the court will not issue any direction regarding it
The Delhi government is preparing to reinstate the odd-even road rationing system from November 13 to November 20 to control air pollution. The specifics of the regulations are yet to be announced pending the Supreme Court s response. The system allows vehicles to ply on alternate days based on the last digit of their number plate. Violators will face a fine of Rs 20,000.
