The trader wing of the Aam Aadmi Party today demanded extension of the Delhi government's Odd-Even road rationing scheme to combat pollution beyond January 15, but recommended strengthening of public transport.
Around 200 traders from different traders organisations joined a march to the Secretariat where they met Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
"We support the Odd-Even Plan and have also demanded that it should be extended beyond January 15 as it has proved to be successful. But we also asked the Chief Minister to strengthen the public transport system," AAP's Trader's Wing Convenor Brajesh Goyal said.
He said the traders demanded further expansion of Metro services and increasing of its frequency.
"Also, industrial areas and markets should have better feeder bus system which can help the traders and their employees commute to their place of work," Goyal added.
AAP's Traders Wing had helped the party to galvanise the community's support to the AAP during polls.
