Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal flanked his Cabinet colleagues Dy CM Manish Sisodia and Delhi Transport Minister Gopal Rai and Kapil Mishra addressing a press conference to announce the blue print of the odd-even scheme which aims to curb rising poll

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today announced the blue print of the odd-even scheme, which aims to curb rising pollution in the city.

Women drivers and CNG-certified vehicles are likely to be given exemption from Delhi government's ambitious odd-even scheme, which comes into force from January 1 in the national capital.

During the 15-day trial, motorcycles and emergency vehicles including ambulance, PCR, fire tenders, will also not come under the ambit of road-rationing experiment.



What Arvind Kejriwal announced Delhi Chief Minister and his family members not exempt from the law. Odd numbered cars to ply on odd dates, even numbered cars on even dates. Formal notification for OddEvenFormula will be out on Monday (December 28) A fine of Rs 2000 will be imposed on people who violate the Odd-Even Formula. Odd-even policy will not be in effect on Sunday, it will be in force on other days from 8am to 8pm. Avoid strangers for car-pooling. Make groups of friends, relatives and colleagues for car pooling. Those on way to hospital for medical emergency should carry proof, vehicles of physically challenged should do so too. Exemption cases to #OddEvenFormula: Deputy Speaker of Lok Sabha, Governors of states/ Lt Governor, Chief Justice of India, Union Ministers. We need cooperation from Traffic Police. Please don't allow jams to happen when you fine people. Will take a pledge on January 30 in Delhi schools where children will convince their parents to follow odd-even formula. 4000-5000 more buses to be pressed into service, metro frequency to increase. If the public transport is able to bear the pressure, and if the formula works, then we will see if we want to continue it. This scheme is for you, for your kids. We are all coughing. It is for the environment. Govt can take up an initiative but everyone needs to participate in Delhi to make those initiatives successful. No restriction on two-wheelers so far. But they may be brought under the ambit of the policy in the second phase. Vehicles bearing defence ministry number plates and those of Special Protection Group (SPG) protectees would not be covered by the rules under which cars bearing odd and even numbers would ply on alternate dates till January 15.

However, there is no clarity on whether vehicles coming from outside the NCR will be allowed to drive through the city or not between January 1-15.
