Starting from January 1st till January 15th the Delhi government’s odd-even registration number rule will be implemented in order to curb the rising pollution levels in the city. Many in the city have hailed this as a landmark decision while there are others who believe that the implementation of the idea won’t be practical, as there are a number of factors which will come into play.
Because of these several contributing factors the Delhi government has come up with 20 vehicle categories which will be exempted from the rule.
