Over 200 teams have been deployed by the Delhi government to smoothen the implementation of odd-even scheme.
The Delhi government has also held talks with app based taxi providers like Ola and Uber that there will be no surge pricing or overcharging by them under this road rationing system. Auto rickshaw drivers have also been instructed to run by the meter prices, when odd-even scheme will be rolled out. The vehicles coming from other states will also not be exempted under this act.
Pollution level in Delhi has reached to its maximum in last three years on Sunday which has landed the National capital of India in disconcert. The air quality index of Delhi is touching the dangerous levels of 625 landing the Delhi people into severe condition which could be a cause of health problems for many people. The non-transport four-wheeled automobiles could be a major concern under the implementation of this scheme.
A few words for the toxic smog:
-Sab dhundla dhundla laage,
Ek tujhpe hi focus hai
-Saanson ko saanson mein rehne do zara,
Hum tumm
-Saanson ki jarurat hai jaise
Zindagi ke liye
When Delhiites put on oxygen masks
-Saans mei teri saans mili to mujhe saans aayi
Keep taking the precautionary measures to overcome with this problematic situation.
