Asked whether the apex court judges would follow the policy and sacrifice by resorting to car-pooling to reach the court, he said, \u201cWe would love to do so if it helps reduce pollution\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no difficulty in this. I think this is the bare minimum which we can do. People call it sacrifice. This not a sacrifice, this is symbolic to show that judges are doing it,\u201d the CJI said in an interaction with journalists in New Delhi. In response to a specific query as to how the CJI will follow it, Thakur also said he could share the car with his next door neighbour judge\u00a0 A K Sikri. Reacting to the Chief Justice\u2019s views, Kejriwal said in a tweet: \u201cCJI\u2019s support to odd-even formula is welcome and huge encouragement. SC judges pooling cars would inspire millions to follow. Thank you my lords\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe way he (CJI) has extended his support, Delhi Government and the public is extremely thankful and will feel encouraged. If Supreme Court judges can resort to car pooling, it will be inspirational for others too,\u201d the Chief Minister later told reporters.<\/p>\n<p>During his interaction, the CJI had recalled his experience of flying from Jammu to Delhi and said there was a huge smoke cover over Punjab due to burning of crops by farmers there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mentioned this to the Prime Minister (about it). He said that he has talked about it in his Mann Ki Baat (radio programme),\u201d Justice Thakur said, adding that the farmers need to be made aware of the problem of pollution.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOdd number hai , ya\u00a0 even number hai , iss se fark nahi padta\u00a0 (the car has odd or even registration number does not matter), because in any case, you reach court in a car,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>In a radical step, the Kejriwal government has announced that private vehicles bearing odd and even registration numbers will be allowed to ply only on alternate days starting January 1 next year.<\/p>\n<p>( Source &#8211; PTI )<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chief Justice of India T S Thakur on Sunday endorsed the Aam Aadmi Party government\u2019s odd-even scheme for plying of private vehicles, saying it can be followed if it helps in reducing the pollution, a statement which was welcomed by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
