NEW DELHI: In a city where motorists routinely run red lights and drive on the wrong side of the road, many doubted the feasibility of Delhi leader Arvind Kejriwal's plan to roughly halve the number of cars in India's capital in a bid to reduce air pollution.
Yet with a few days to go in the campaign's trial period, the city's 17 million residents have largely played by the rules. While no reliable polls are available, the widespread compliance has triggered calls for similar policies in other parts of India and appears to have awakened a sense of civic duty.
All in all, Kejriwal's gamble seems to be paying off.
