Kejriwal uses radio spot to reach out to people on odd-even rule

New Delhi, Dec 7 (IBNS): Amid a debate over his government's move to impose odd-even formula for cars in the national capital, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has now attempted to reach out to Delhiites in a new radio ad where he promised to scrap the system if people find it hard to follow it in the first 15 days.
The ad will be aired from Tuesday.
 
In the radio spot, Kejriwal says: "My ministers and I will also follow it. We will try it out for 15 days, from 1 to 15 January. If it is too much trouble, then we will stop it. For 15 days, car pool with friends and neighbours. I will also do it." 
 
"I know it will be hard, but to reduce pollution, we have to suffer a little," he appeals.
 
From January 1, the  vehicles with number plates ending with an odd number will be allowed to ply one day and those ending with an even number the next day.
 
However, this rule is not applicable on public transport.
 
The government informed that it hoped to cut down vehicular pollution in the state by half with this measure.
 
The decision was arrived at after a meeting called by the Chief Minister following some recent observations by the judiciary on alarming pollution.
 
The Delhi High Court that living in Delhi is like "living in a gas chamber" while slamming agencies of government the  National Green Tribunal (NGT) Wednesday directed the Delhi government to identify “critically polluted areas” so that  immediate advisories can be issued to the public.
