Odd-even: Kejriwal suggests car pooling to avoid problems
April 13, 2016 21:02
The Delhi government on Wednesday conceded that it has not been able to find a solution to the problem of cars going to pick up children after school hours during the odd-even scheme, which it said will be a regular
feature if the second round turns out to be successful.
Speaking at public events in preparation for the fortnight-long road rationing scheme beginning Friday, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal suggested that parents should practice car pooling to avoid problems with the authorities.
In the second round, cars with children in school uniform are exempted from the odd-even scheme. But parents have raised apprehensions over the fate of cars going to pick up children.
"We gave it a lot of thought but no solution could be found. It will cause some problems but vehicles could be shared with neighbours.
"The second phase of odd-even scheme is very important as its first phase was just an experiment. If the second phase is successful, we are mulling implementing it for 15 days every month," he said during an interaction with students in Sarvodaya Balika Vidyala in New Delhi.
