New Delhi: May 22 to be the next 'Car-free Day'

Delhi government has decided to organise the next 'Car-free Day' in North-West Delhi on May 22 but the venue is yet to be decided.

The government has been organising car-free day on 22nd of every month on different road stretches with an aim to encourage people to use public transport and reduce rising pollution level in the national capital.

"We will organise next car-free day in North-West Delhi on May 22," Transport Minister Gopal Rai said. However, location of the event is yet to be identified, he said.

The event, promoted by the Transport department, could not be held on April 22 as all the officials were busy with implementation of second phase of odd-even car rationing scheme, which ended today.
