New Delhi: The Delhi government should have held wide consultations before taking the decision on running of vehicles on alternate days on the basis of odd-even number classification, BJP MP Mahesh Giri said on Monday.

He also noted that it does not take care of interest of the poorer sections.

Raising the issue in the Lok Sabha, Giri, who is an MP from East Delhi, said pollution in the national capital was a matter of concern and there were several areas in which the Delhi government should have acted.

He said industrial plants continue to pollute the environment in the national capital.

Giri said the decision on use of vehicles with even and odd numbers on alternate days would not make a difference to the rich as they would have the option of using alternate cars on alternate days.

He said many among the lower income groups use two-wheelers and they will be affected by the decision.

“No thought was given to this. It would have been better if a collective decision had been taken,” he said.

The Delhi government last week said odd and even number vehicles will ply on alternate days in the city from January 1.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal later said the move would be discontinued if it inconvenienced the public.

The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.

In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).

The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.

The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.

Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.

In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.

The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
