 Odd-Even will be reinstated in Delhi from November 13–20 in an effort to address "severe" air pollution

To alleviate growing pollution levels, Delhi will use the Odd-Even system, based on license plate numbers, for one week beginning on November 13.

On Monday, Gopal Rai, Delhi's environment minister, said that the Odd-Even car restriction scheme will return for a week, from November 13 to November 20.

A sporadic solution to Delhi's acute air pollution problems has been the Odd-Even system, which limits the use of automobiles according to the final number on their license plates.

Rai's choice was prompted by the city's citizens' growing health concerns and rising pollution levels.

"The Odd-Even vehicle system should be applicable throughout one week from November 13 to November 20 in consideration of air pollution," Rai said during a news conference held here.

cars with license plate numbers that finish in an even digit (0, 2, 4, 6, 8) are permitted to operate on even days under the Odd-Even system; cars with license plate numbers that end in an odd digit (1, 3, 5, 7, 9) are permitted to run on odd dates.

The AAP claims that Punjab is 500 kilometers distant and attributes Delhi's pollution problem on Haryana.

According to the minister, until November 10, physical courses have been ordered to be suspended in schools, with the exception of classes 10 and 12. Rai added that a call for a work-from-home policy for 50% of employees in Delhi's public and private offices will be made at a later time.

Following a high-level meeting that Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal of Delhi established, a number of announcements were made. Rai, ministers Atishi as well as Saurabh Bhardwaj, as well as representatives from the relevant ministries, attended the meeting.

According to Rai, the pollution level should decrease tomorrow because the wind speed is predicted to increase.

According to the forecast, tomorrow, November 7, the wind intensity will be 12 km/h. If the speed increases to 10 to 12 km/h, there's a chance that the pollution that has accumulated here may disperse. Similarly, on November 8, the wind speed is predicted to be between 8 and 10 km/h, which will lower the pollution level, he said.
