New Delhi:The Supreme Court on Friday called the odd-even rationing scheme 'half-baked' and said that it might not be a solution to control the deteriorating air quality in the national capital.
The apex court said that despite the implementation of the scheme, the pollution levels have continued to increase.
Advocate Mukul Rohatgi, representing Delhi government, told the court that if certain exemptions are removed, it will help.
"We are trying to work it out further. If two-wheelers are not allowed, the city will come to a standstill," he said. He further remarked that the stubble burning is the main cause of air pollution.
The court pulled up AAP-led Delhi government and asked it to apprise it about the effect of the scheme on air pollution levels.
"Even Delhi government's affidavit says we have not conducted such study on the odd-even. It's a halfway solution, either it's full odd-even or no odd-even, there has to be no exemption. We don't know whether it's really working or not," the top court said.
