Odd-even rule for commute in Delhi is back from November 13-20 amid worsening air quality. In view of air pollution, the odd-even vehicle system will be applicable for one week from 13th to 20th November, Delhi’s environment minister Gopal Rai said on Monday. It means that vehicles bearing odd-numbered license plates will be permitted to operate on odd-numbered dates, while those with even-numbered plates will be allowed on the roads on even dates during the restriction period.
Also, there will be no physical classes for the November 13-20 week, except for Class 10 and 12, the minister added.
On Monday morning, the air pollution levels in Delhi-NCR soared to alarming heights, reaching seven to eight times the safe limit set by the government. This marks the seventh day in a row that the region has been enveloped in a hazardous toxic haze.
