Women will be exempted from the odd-even transport scheme which is set to return in New Delhi for the third time from November 4-15, chief minister Arvind Kejriwal announced on Saturday.

Privately owned CNG vehicles will not be exempted, he said.

'Women driving alone, cars having all women as occupants and women accompanied by children aged less than 12 years will be exempted,' he said. The decision has been taken keeping in mind their safety, Kejriwal added.

'A decision on whether two-wheelers should be exempted is yet to be taken and we are consulting experts,' he said.
