Women set to lose exemption in second phase of Delhi's odd-even scheme

February 11, 2016 10:59

The Delhi government is likely to not grant an exemption to women drivers in the second phase of the "odd-even' car rationing formula that is expected in April, after the board examinations in the city's schools are over by the end of March. The scheme that was rolled out on January 1 for 15 days is all set to make a comeback, the dates for which will be announced by chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday.

Sources said that in the second phase of the AAP government's ambitious scheme, women drivers could lose the exemption they enjoyed during the first phase in January. But two-wheelers are likely to be kept out again, sources said, as the government does not want to overload the already-burdened public transport system, they said.
