Its that time of the year again when the pollution level in the air quality index goes up to dangerous mark in the national capital and the ODD EVEN scheme is all set to make a return for the third time from 4th to 15th November.
While various studies give conflicting reports about the success of previous editions of the odd even scheme in combating aur pollution , Delhi Govt is finalising new guidelines for this edition.
State transport department has suggested giving exemption to women drivers and two wheelers but the private CNG vehicles will come under the purview of odd even traffic rationing scheme.
So today we will analyse the rationale behind the odd even scheme , how can it be made more successful and whether not giving exemption to private CNG vehicles could act as a disincentive for those switching to clean burning fuel ?
