The Delhi government has announced that the odd-even traffic scheme will be implemented in the city from November 13 to November 20, after Diwali, to combat the alarming air pollution levels. The government will assess the situation and decide if the restrictions need to be extended beyond November 20. Vehicular emissions contribute significantly to Delhi's air pollution, and previous editions of the scheme had exemptions for certain vehicles. The government has also implemented other measures, such as a ban on construction work and entry of polluting trucks, to control air pollution in the region.
