Odd-Even Vehicle Scheme Introduced in Sikkim

Sikkim government officials have announced an odd-even vehicle scheme aimed at regulating traffic within municipal limits, particularly along the National Highway from Mayfair Phatak to GICI, Zero Point. Under this arrangement, odd-numbered vehicles can operate on odd dates, while even-numbered vehicles are allowed from 9:30 AM to noon and 3:30 PM to 6 PM on even dates. A temporary exemption is provided from 12:30 PM to 3:30 PM.

Exemptions and Coverage

The initiative will exempt feeder roads and emergency service vehicles, including ambulances and police vehicles, from these restrictions. This step is part of a broader effort to manage traffic and improve air quality in the region.

Delhi Government’s Potential Implementation of Odd-Even Scheme

Meanwhile, the Delhi government is considering a similar odd-even scheme as air quality in the capital has deteriorated recently. The Air Quality Index (AQI) hit 352, categorizing it as ‘very poor.’ With Diwali approaching, the government may soon implement this measure to reduce vehicular emissions and combat pollution.
