US envoy backs odd-even scheme

January 28, 2016 21:31

Strongly backing the 'odd-even' vehicle rationing scheme in the capital, US Ambassador Richard Verma said the US would share the "sacrifice" that others have to endure to tackle pollution, asserting "we will be a good neighbour".

Verma said the scheme reflected the willingness on people's part to "do something" towards tackling air pollution and climate change, which is a "pressing issue" that could "stifle" India's growth. He said the US wants to be part of "solutions" and would share "sacrifice" that would have to be endured by the society at large to tackle the challenge of pollution.
