end on April 12.
Odd-even to be implemented for 15 days every month after May.
Maximum people are in favour of not giving exemption to VIPs.
We will buy 1,000 buses to be used during the plan in May and an addition 1,000
buses will be added in August.
Government still working on the exemption list. Women continue to be
exempted.
At least 81 per cent Delhiites want the plan back on roads.
5,500 private contract for buses are there and we are in talks with them. This
time we are not going to use school buses as public transport.

This will replace Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM). The enforcement instructors
are going to be recruited and trained.
92 per cent people said that they are not going to buy a second car.

The survey also highlighted some critical


suggestions:
Senior citizens and cars carrying four or more
passengers should be exempted.
Saturdays should also be exempted.
Staggered
time
exemptions
for
government
employees, for instance 8-11 am, to allow them
commute to work smoothly.
Cars coming from other states should be exempted so
that people coming in to NCR from long distances are
not affected.

There should be a ban on diesel taxis.


Citizens participating in the odd-even plan voluntarily should be
honoured.
"Around 28,300 suggestions have been received through online
forms while another 9,000 and 1,82,808 have come through
emails and missed called respectively. The government, on its
part, has made more than 9,00,000 calls to gather public
opinion," a senior government official said.
AAP MLAs, who organised Jan Sabhas on the same theme, have
claimed that public opinion was "overwhelmingly" in favour of reintroduction of the scheme.
