Odd-Even Rule Will Not Come Into Effect For Now, Says Delhi Government

There will be no odd-even traffic restriction scheme in Delhi at this time, Environment Minister Gopal Rai said Friday afternoon, shortly after the Supreme Court left the decision on its implementation to the ruling Aam Aadmi Party. Earlier this week the court - irked by the annual (and worsening) air quality crisis in the city - called the scheme "optics" and demanded proof of success.
