As Delhi chokes, odd-even to be enforced again from November 13 to 17

Odd-numbered cars are allowed to run on odd dates while even-numbered cars can only run on even dates

 

 

The odd-even car rationing scheme will be enforced in Delhi for a five-day period from November 13, city Transport Minister Kailash Gahlot said on Thursday.

The decision comes as air pollution levels spiked in the national capital.

Under the policy, private vehicles are allowed to run based on the last number of their licence plates.

Odd-numbered cars are allowed to run on odd dates while even-numbered cars can only run on even dates.

Last year, the Aam Aadmi Party-led Delhi Government implemented the alternate day travel for cars with odd and even number license plates.

The plan was put in place twice for 14 days each in January and April, respectively, to control the deteriorating air quality in Delhi NCR.
