DELHI: The Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal declared on Friday each private car including two-wheeler will be allowed on the city’s roads only every other day from January 1, 2016 due to reduce pollution and clean up the Capital’s toxic air. The decision taken at a meeting by Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal will not apply to CNG-driven buses, taxis, auto-rickshaws and emergency vehicles but will cover automobiles entering Delhi from other states. Officials say even-numbered cars will be allowed to run on even days and odd-numbered ones on odd days. Private vehicles will be allowed to run on the streets on alternate days depending on whether their licence plates end in even or odd numbers, the government has declared a day after it faced criticism from the Delhi high court over the city’s growing pollution problem. “We are talking about implementing this plan in a city where no one is ready to follow basic traffic rules,” said a senior government official on condition of anonymity. A committee comprising members of the environment department, traffic police, transport department and the divisional commissioner will decide how the policy will be implemented. The sweeping move, like the one adopted by Beijing in 2008 ahead of the Olympics, will apply to a large bulk of nearly nine million vehicles registered in Delhi, which adds about 1,500 new vehicles to its roads every day.
