Delhi to conduct second round of odd-even from April 15

11 February, New Delhi

The second phase of odd-even number scheme for cars in Delhi will be implemented from 15th of April this year. Announcing this, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said the scheme will continue for 15 days. It aims at curbing vehicular pollution and traffic congestion in the city.

Quoting the recent survey conducted by the city government, Kejriwal said around 81 per cent people in the national capital were in favour of bringing back the Odd Even scheme. He said women will be exempted in this phase.

The Chief Minister, however, made it clear that the scheme cannot be enforced on permanent basis until public transport system is adequately improved.

Kejriwal also said that three thousand new buses will hit road in the national capital by December this year.

Earlier, the scheme was implemented last month for 15 days which was a huge success.
