Taking a tough stance, National Green Tribunal once again discarded Delhi government's proposal to exempt women and two-wheelers from the Odd-Even scheme. NGT asked the state government, "when reports have stated that two-wheelers are more polluting than four-wheelers, why do you intend to give arbitrary exemptions?". As a result, Delhi government withdrew its review petition which was filed yesterday.

एक कठिन रवैया अपनाते हुए, नेशनल ग्रीन ट्राइब्यूनल ने एक बार फिर से दिल्ली सरकार की ऑड-ईवन योजना से महिलाओं और दोपहिया वाहनों को छूट देने के प्रस्ताव को नामंज़ूर कर दिया। NGT ने राज्य सरकार से पूछा, "जब रिपोर्टों में कहा गया है कि दुपहिया वाहन चार पहिया वाहनों की तुलना में अधिक प्रदूषण करते हैं, तो आप उन्हें एकपक्षीय छूट देने का इरादा क्यों रखते हैं? नतीजतन, दिल्ली सरकार ने अपनी समीक्षा याचिका, जिसे कल दर्ज कराया गया था, को वापस ले लिया ।
