MORE than a million private cars were banned from New Delhi's roads on Friday, as the authorities began trialling drastic new measures to cut smog in the world's most polluted capital.

From Jan 1, only cars with odd-numbered licence plates will be allowed on the roads on odd-numbered dates and those with even-numbered plates on the other days, except on Sundays.
