New Delhi: The Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday accepted that it is impossible to implement the odd-even formula permanently in the national capital to curb pollution.
In an exclusive interview to CNN-IBN, Kejriwal clarified that the odd-even formula in Delhi is not a permanent measure and will end on January 15, 2016. "After that we will reassess the situation and the future course of action will be taken based on our reassessment meeting," he said.
He said, "Practically it is not possible to implement the odd-even scheme permanently. Usually such measures are required when the pollution level is higher and we will continue to implement such scheme whenever it needed for the betterment of Delhi."
When asked whether he was nervous in the morning over the odd-even scheme drive, Kejriwal said, "Yes, I was nervous in the morning on how people will react to this. But I am happy to see the overwhelming response from the people. The scheme has been successful so far. People in Delhi accepted the scheme whole-heartedly."
"I would like to thank the people, the Delhi traffic police and the media who came forward to make Delhi pollution free. As per report, there are very less even-numbered cars on the roads," he added.
