Odd-even scheme has been Delhi government’s go-to formula to tackle air pollution for quite some years now.
The Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP government has decided to reintroduce the scheme for this season in November.
According to a report by ANI, the scheme will be implemented from 4th-15th November in Delhi.
Under the scheme, cars with numbers ending in odd and even will be allowed on roads alternatively.
Addressing a press conference, Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, urged people not to burst crackers during Diwali and also listed out a 7-point plan to tackle pollution in Delhi.
This is how people are reacting to the announcement.
#TrafficFines have already lessened vehicles on streets. Brace yourself for empty roads as #Delhi to witness #Odd-Even scheme from Nov 4 to Nov 15

Odd even is a good step, but what good will it do when implemented only for 11 days?

We will have to wait until the implementation of the scheme to see its efficacy against pollution.
