Delhi government today deferred its decision on finalising an ambitious plan which include some "tough measures" to cut air pollution in the city, apparently because of the upcoming assembly polls.

The much awaited ‘Agenda for Air Pollution Control’, which seeks to meet the ambient air quality standards in Delhi by 2017, came up before the cabinet chaired by chief minister Sheila Dikshit on Monday but was sent back to the drawing board.

The state cabinet on Monday approved a new scheme for improving surface connectivity in 108 backward blocks of the state.

Vehicles financed under the new Scheme for Rural Transport Connectivity would be exempted from motor vehicle tax and permit fees, official sources said. The scheme aims at augmenting passenger transport services in Maoist-affected areas of the state, sources added.
