The odd-even rule which is applicable to vehicles in Delhi to fight air pollution will be lifted on November 10, 11 and 12.
The restrictions on vehicles are not applicable on Sundays and Delhi CM announced on Friday that it would continue for the next two days to ensure hassle-free commute on the occasion of the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev.
The odd-even scheme was put into effect by the Delhi government between November 4 and November 15 for 12 hours every day between 8 am and 8 pm. This is the third time that the Delhi government has put the rule into effect with the earlier two being in 2016.
“The 550th Prakash Parv of Guru Nanak Dev is being celebrated through a grand Nagar Kirtan on November 11 and the Guru Parv on November 12. Lakhs of people from the Sikh community are expected to join the celebrations. We have decided to suspend the rules for a two-day period in view of the festivities,” the CM had said on Friday.
Under odd-even, cars with registration numbers ending with odd numbers are allowed to ply on odd number dates and vice-versa. The road rationing system basically allows vehicles with registration numbers ending with even digits — 0,2,4,6,8 to ply on even dates, whereas those ending with odd numbers— 1,3,5,7,9 to ply on odd dates.
Two-wheelers and electric (not CNG) vehicles, women-only vehicles with children aged upto 12 years and vehicles occupied by physically-disabled persons are exempted from following the rule.
