Uneven scheme: Only 6 % vehicles in Delhi to be off roads

December 30, 2015 20:06

With the government exempting 25 categories of vehicles, as many as 73.9 lakh vehicles will be free to ply on Delhi roads from January 1 to 15 when the odd-even formula will be put to trial.

This includes 55.7 lakh two-wheelers which are the biggest vehicular polluters (32 per cent) in Delhi.

Experts say exemption to such a large number of vehicles would defeat the purpose of the road rationing experiment and leave a mere 6.27 per cent off the roads.
