ENVIRONMENT// The government of Delhi is planning to bring back the ‘odd and even’ traffic plan for two weeks starting April 15. During that time, only cars with even registration numbers will be allowed on roads on even number days while odd number cars will be allowed on the odd number days. The Delhi government is doing this to reduce the capital’s notorious air pollution levels. By reducing the number of cars on the road, it is hoping to reduce the pollution too. Pollution monitors that will check the pollution levels in the air will be set up across the NCR region to see if the odd and even scheme is having effect. Like last time, twowheelers, cars driven by women and those owned by important government officials will not be covered by the ban. The dates were chosen to ensure that students writing their board examinations were not affected.
