With the implementation of the second phase of the odd-even scheme less than a fortnight away, the Delhi government on Tuesday asked the corporates to make efforts to reduce traffic congestion by providing transport to their employees.
Addressing a seminar organised by FICCI on road safety, Sanjeev Jha, Parliamentary Secretary to Delhi Transport Minister Gopal Rai, said, “The same people who taunted the government back in January, are now asking them to implement the scheme.”
“I will urge the corporates to deploy buses or other mediums of transport in which a number of people travel to work rather than taking their individual vehicles,” he said. Mr. Rai did not attend the seminar as he was unwell.
Mr. Jha said reducing the number of vehicles is the key to solving half of the traffic problems.
