Traders, doctors, lawyers seek exemption from Delhi's odd-even rule

December 29, 2015 09:24

India Today reports: With just a couple of days to go before the odd-even rule is brought into force, the Delhi government has received representations from traders, lawyers and doctors seeking exemption from the rule.

In their representation, the traders said that the odd-even formula for vehicles would prove detrimental to local trade in Delhi as they would not be able to carry major sums of cash using public transport.

The lawyers on the other hand, sought exception from the rule, saying that bail applications for clients are a matter of life and death for the undertrials and as such the rule would limit their movement and appearance in court thereby denying the undertrials legal recourse.

At the same time, in their petition, the doctors said that their priority is to attend to patients and that the rule would prevent the doctors from going about their duties.

The Delhi government has not yet taken any decision on the petitions filed by these three professional communities.
