The Chief Minister of Delhi Arvind Kejriwal has reintroduced odd-even scheme in Delhi. This scheme will return to Delhi’s roads from November 4 to 15. In the odd-even scheme, cars with licence plates ending in odd number and even number are allowed to run on alternate days.

This system was first implemented in 2016 twice in a year from 1 to 15 January and 15 to 30 April but got into many controversies over exemption of some vehicles.

It later came into play in 2017 in Delhi from November 13 to 17. It was introduced to decrease the issue of rising pollution.

This time along with odd even CM also announced 7 point action plan to control the increasing pollution.

Those were as follows

• Delhi Government will organize a big laser show before Diwali to create awareness about cracker free Diwali. He said that entry will be free in this event.The Government will release appeal to Delhiites not to fire crackers.

• Odd-Even scheme will be rolled out from November 4 to November 15.

• Delhi government will distribute masks on a large scale

• An initiative to curb garbage burning in open will be taken place through various measures.

• Those areas will be identified through hot spot action plan where pollution level is very high.

• Delhi government will make a plan to control dust etc.

• The government will also give a challenge to the Delhiites to plant saplings. Under this, anyone who wants to plant saplings at their home will get assistance from the government.

Let's see how it will turn this time.
