Odd-even scheme to be implemented in Delhi from Nov 13 to 20: Minister Gopal Rai
Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai on Monday said the odd-even scheme will be implemented here from November 13 to 20 in view of the likely increase of level of pollution after Diwali festival.
On odd-even implementation, Rai said, "It will be implemented for a week and after that taking into account the level of pollution, the future course of action will be decided."
It is forecast that the wind will be blowing 12 km per hour on November 7 and it will blow 10-12 km per hour on November 8, so there is a possibility that the pollution accumulated might be disperse following which the pollution levels may reduce slightly.
The work has been done to reduce pollution throughout the year in Delhi, said Rai.
Delhi government has ordered that all classes, except 10 and 12, in all schools here will be held online till November 10, in view of the implementation of Stage IV Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP).
