Following the Delhi High Court’s statement about the alarming levels of pollution in the city – “living in the city was like living in a gas chamber” yesterday, the Delhi government has devised a unique plan to keep a check on the pollution in the city. From 1st January, all the private vehicles with even and odd registration numbers will be allowed on alternate days.
This new decision by the Arvind Kejriwal government will allow the vehicles ending with an odd number on a certain day, evoke those with even number plates will enter the city the next day. Even the vehicles entering Delhi from other states will have to obey the rule.
However, this new rule will not be applicable to public vehicles. Each day, nearly 1,000 card are being introduced on Delhi roads and latest surveys reveal that Delhi has more cars than Kolkata, Chennai and Mumbai combined.
The Delhi High Court has identified vehicular emissions and dust particles as the two main causes of air pollution in the national capital and asked both the center and state governments not to allow any major constructions without checking the dust levels are minimized.
