The Delhi government’s road space rationing strategy and plan to reduce air pollution (Editorial, Dec.8) are welcome given that the deteriorating air quality in the capital city has, without doubt, made life akin to living in a gas chamber. A similar environment programme, ‘Hoy No Circula’, was started in 1989 in Mexico City on the even-odd number plate principle. It was in conjunction with an exhaust monitoring programme that mandated an emissions test for all vehicles every six months. However, there were several instances where citizens circumvented the restrictions by purchasing an additional car or by tampering with the licence plate. The Delhi government should ensure compliance with the law.
