Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday announced that persons with disabilities have also been included in the list of exemption during the upcoming odd-even car rationing scheme.
The road rationing scheme will be enforced from November 4 to 14.
Earlier, the CM had annouced that women drivers will be exempted from the odd-even scheme.
The CM said, “Yes, persons with disabilities will definitely be exempt during odd-even scheme.”
Among the other annoucement, Kejriwal had announced last week that unlike previous occasions, the privately-owned vehicles, which run on CNG, will have to comply with the odd-even scheme.
Kejriwal had said that women will be exempted due to safety reasons. “Women driving alone, cars having all women as occupants and women accompanied by children aged less than 12 years will be exempted,” he said.
The CM had also announced that a decision on whether two-wheelers should be exempted from the scheme or not is yet to be taken and the government is consulting experts over it.
During the odd-even scheme, vehicles with registration numbers ending in an odd number are allowed to be driven on odd number dates and cars with registration numbers ending with an even number are allowed to be driven on even number dates.
The odd-even, a flagship scheme of Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party, is an effort to control the pollution levels in the capital. It was first introduced in Delhi in 2016.
