Even and Odd Numbers of the vehicles

Delhi high court said aptly that living in Delhi is like living in a gas chamber.. According to the statistics Delhi is the most polluted city in the world. Delhi is 5 times more polluted than Beijing. In such conditions, the decision of Delhi high court comes like a whiff of fresh air.

I think this decision is not practical. Delhi govt. should have first talked to traffic police that are they capable of checking numbers of vehicles as this decision requires more numbers of men in traffic police.

They should check vehicle emissions of heavy vehicles first rather than target domestic usage ...The pollution caused by a truck is ten times that of a car , so they need to take action there !

As usual when action should have been taken we do not take it. When the situation becomes beyond control then in panic we take impractical decisions. Odd and even days is very difficult to implement. With so many exemptions ultimately it will be the few who will bear the brunt. Many persons will buy a nano and grease RTO officials to give them an additional odd or even number so that they can drive everyday. sales of Nano car may go up. 

It is the Delhi High court's verdict. Seeing the extent of Air Pollution in Delhi, the High court of Delhi made this rule mandatory. But it should be effectively implemented. Pollution in the air is in  the most alarming levels which lead to many life threatening ailments.

It is not the verdict of Delhi High Court to allow odd and even cars to be run on odd and even dates. If it is it should be brought to the Court's notice that it is difficult to implement. Other ways of reducing pollution should be investigated. It seems within 48 hours of assuming power the Kejriwal government permitted self audit or declaration by polluting industries in and around Delhi in order to promote ease of business image. Crazy, will a polluting industry accept they are polluting? 

Some people will buy more vehicles, one for odd number plate and other for even number plate. And those who cannot afford two vehicles will start using fake number plate.

Anyhow, the decision is taken by whosoever it may be, is to arrest the Air pollution.It should be hailed.

The Delhi government has taken a very welcome step. There is need to reduce vehicles on the road. This can be best done by curtailing personal vehicles and promoting and improving public transport. Not only transport, it will be best use of limited natural resources to promote public assets like libraries, e- libraries, civic facilities, parks etc. 

Indirectly the Delhi government wants to fight with central government. All we know that this decision is taken in hurry, and its implementation is not so easy. If this plan fails then Delhi government will say that police is not doing its work and Delhi police is under center. I think there will be conflicts between Delhi police and Delhi government.

Is the RTO not under Delhi government? Is so, there need be no issue. Traffic police would follow directions of RTO. 

Having promised the moon Kejriwal now keeps finding alibi to cover up its failures.

Number of vehicles can also be curtalied by not registering new vehicles for one year, will it be taken, Never for obvious reasons.

In a bid to curb rising pollution levels in Delhi. These radical steps which include restrictions on  plying of vehicles, shutting down of power plants, vacuum cleaning of Roads etc were taken. I hail this decision.

With your support ,  Kejriwal (Mogambo) khush hua!

Delhi Police and Delhi Government are always at loggerheads and no doubt this decision will fuel the conflict which is between them. People not only move within the city but regularly travel long distances such as Noida, Gurgaon, Ghaziabad, Sonipat, Faridabad and many more for their work from Delhi. Such a decision will create huge problem for the commuters because inconvenience is bound to take place.

They have kept their own vehicles exempted from this rule and the happiest people in NCR are taxi and auto drivers. Maybe car manufacturers will sell more cars and RTO Babus will earn more money for providing right kind of numbers as per demand.

I was thinking the same thing that initially it might work but our people are great at hoodwinking the system and before you know the number of vehicles on road will be the same as before..

Now AAP wants to try it for 15 days and then give it up if found impractical to enforce. There is no alternative but to provide for huge investment in public transport like more buses and metros and enforcing congestion tax to force cars off roads. One day in a week can be made a car less day in different areas by turn.

If parking rules are made very strict with parking fees increased at all places , the number of private vehicles might come down. In many western countries especially in London people seldom use car while driving to the city center because of the exorbitant parking charges.

General people are not at all happy with such a decision. Let's see what happens. They need to find out other meaningful ways and must talk to Police department before jumping to any decision making. Even they could have asked for opinion from the public before taking up this decision. People's suggestion may have helped to curb pollution in a much better and convenient way.
