The odd-even scheme, enforced twice in 2016, will be in place between November 13 and 17 from 8am to 8pm. During the hearing, the tribunal questioned the city government as to why it was granting exemptions to certain sections if the aim was to improve air quality. On Thursday, Delhi’s Aam Aadmi Party government had announced the odd-even scheme as part of a Graded Response Plan to tackle the alarming pollution levels in the capital.
