He said the state is not ready "to compromise with the safety of women" after the NGT order&shy;ed that there should be no exemption to anyone, except emergency vehicles. "Two conditions of NGT that two wheelers and women cannot be ex&shy;e&shy;mpted make it difficult to implement odd-even as we do not have adequate buses. Also we can't compromise with the safety of women. At the moment we are calling it off. We will file a review application in NGT on Monday," Gahlot said. The Delhi government had earlier announced implementation of the odd-even scheme from November 13-17.
