Odd-even scheme in Delhi from today as city records poorest air quality in 3 years

In the backdrop of severe air pollution in Delhi, the odd-even scheme as proposed by the Arvind Kejriwal government will come into effect from today (Monday). The rule will be applicable from 8 am and only even-numbered non-transport vehicles will be allowed on Delhi roads on the first day of the exercise. The air pollution in Delhi had touched hazardous levels on Sunday, following which Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal appealed to people to follow the odd-even rule for the sake of their children and the city. He has also asked the government machinery to ensure that no person faces inconvenience due to the restrictions.
