I am With Odd Even’, said Delhi residents through social mediums

New Delhi: People flooded with their remarks over the Delhi Government's Odd and Even scheme on the social networking and micro-blogging websites on Friday. The Delhi residents expressed support for the scheme by writing 'I am with odd-even' on Twitter.

Here are few tweets:

"25 kms stretch from home to office… saw only three cars with even numbers. Delhiites supporting #IamWithOddEven," Shabnam Hashmi, an activist tweeted.

"Can say there are less number of people on roads but majority of them with odd numbers. It indicates success," Malaya K. Nayak wrote.

"All odd-numbered cars on road, took half the time to reach places. I think it's working very well," Sourabh Jain said.

Aekta Kapoor said, "The roads were clear and I saw just one even-numbered car. It wasn't hard to share the car. Looks like we can make this work."

However, there were many who doubted the success of the scheme from January 4 onwards, since many offices closed on the weekend and New Year celebrations would open from Monday.

"The real test though would lie in how Delhi reacts from January 4 onwards. There's no doubt, all Delhities want climate to change for the better," Rahul Mehra tweeted.

Some people even voluntarily participated in the scheme despite exemptions.

"My CNG car exempted but still I will participate in odd-even scheme. It's our responsibility first, later government's duty," Pawan Sharma said.
