The Delhi government’s decision to hold back the odd-even car rationing scheme with view of women’s safety has left experts divided. Many experts raised questions on how would exempting women would help when most of them use public transport to commute. Since most of the women commuters in Delhi use public transport, the exemption makes no sense,” said Anumita Roychowdhury from the Centre of Science and Environment (CSE). But, given the poor record of women safety in Delhi, she added that the Arvind Kejriwal led-Delhi government’s concern was valid. But exemptions to women in odd-even is a necessity due to security concerns,” she tweeted.
