The Delhi Government has decided that from 1st January, 2016, only those auto-vehicles including 2-wheelers having even numbers will run on one day and next day, the vehicles having odd numbers will be permitted to run on the roads of Delhi. This decision will not apply to the ambulances and the vehicles required for emergency services. It is a good decision to reduce the pollution and traffic jams on the roads. Further it will help the public to use the public transport or share with others to reduce the consumption of the petro-products.The category of the vehicles required for emergency services must be restricted to the fire-brigade only. This rule must be made effective for all over India. However, if it is made out to be implemented strictly, it can boost the vehicle industry as those persons who may afford will try to get another vehicle having odd/even number to enable them to move on their choice.

Many years back it was reported that in most of the industrial projects, the cost of equipment needed to control emissions causing pollution is around 5-10% of the project cost. Due to less awareness, lower pollution levels, the  industrialists would not incur the cost to install pollution abatement equipment. Pollution boards were set up and usually the Chairman would be a politician or a pliable retired bureaucrat whose job was to keep the industry safe from vigilant and NGO groups and the parties in power would be adequately compensated. I speak from first hand knowledge and we were aghast at the deliberate disregard for the environment and the citizens. Most of the powerful politicians and retired bureaucrats stay in large houses and feel they are protected even in a polluted environment. I would blame the lack of civic responsibility of our industrialists for causing avoidable pollution in connivance with authorities. Today when the dam has burst solutions are being made in panic conditions. We citizens are also to be blamed because of our legendary tolerance power.

These are no practical solutions. Unless you provide right alternatives you have no right to stop people using the only choices available to them.

What about the rights of those who neither own a vehicle nor work in an industry. They have a right to breathe pure air and not polluted air by the former two class of consumers who suck in pure air and discharge polluted air.

Peoplerights  are to be protected by all means. Everyone has the right to demand a clean un polluted  air

The ODD EVEN number decision is implemented in hurry and without prior planning. This type of system was previously implemented in countries like China and has failed in results. Because after implementing this system people will start buying two cars one for even and other for odd number.
