Delhi Transport Minister Gopal Rai on Friday said that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Government would submit its report on the level of pollution in the national capital in the High Court and added that the status quo of the Odd-Even formula would be known only after the order is passed.

Rai also said that the Odd-Even scheme has gathered diverse views from the people, with some accepting it while others criticising the move.

He added, "It had already been decided that the formula would be implemented for fifteen days and only after weighing the pros and cons would the future of the scheme be decided."

The Delhi High Court had earlier asked the state government as to why it was necessary to run the Odd-Even traffic rule for more than a week and asked if the scheme could end on Friday.

The High Court also asked the government to submit a detailed report on its findings on the pollution level for the first seven days.
