All private vehicles even having registration numbers issued by neighbouring states will have to follow the odd-even number formula

“Every year pollution level increases in winter. From January 1, 2016, odd and even numbered vehicles will run on alternate days. Alternate arrangements are being made to bolster public transport. DTC buses, Metro services will ply extra. We are still working out the modalities,” said the Chief Secretary.
Yesterday, the Delhi High Court had observed that the current air pollution levels in city have reached “alarming” proportions and it `was akin to “living in a gas chamber”. It had directed the Centre and city government to present comprehensive action plans to combat it.
It directed them to file comprehensive action plans, which are the need of the hour, by December 21.
