#Delhi: 10% spike in number of #vehicles on roads

The national capital witnessed a sharp rise in the total number of motor vehicles plying on its roads in the financial year 2015-16 – marking a growth of 9.94 per cent over the previous year – according to the latest Economic Survey of Delhi released on Tuesday. Even as the city grapples with vehicular congestion, prompting the Delhi government to resort to measures such as the odd-even road rationing scheme to tackle air pollution, the number of vehicles on Delhi’s roads increased from about 88 lakh to 97.05 lakh last year.
