BACKGROUND: Delhi’s battle against air pollution started in 2001 when the Supreme Court expressed shock at the pollution levels in the city. It then ordered public buses, taxis, and auto rickshaws to switch from diesel power to compressed natural gas..

ODD-EVEN RULE IMPLEMENTED: With the alarming levels of air pollution in the city, the Delhi High directed the Central and State governments on December 3, 2015, to come up with a plan to control the pollution rate. The Court directed the government to come up with a list of measures by December 21, 2015, to curb pollution. On December 4, 2015, the Delhi government led by Kejriwal proposed the ‘Odd-Even Rule’ for private cars. The rule was proposed to be implemented from January 1, 2016, as a pilot study for a period of 15 days. As per the rule, private vehicles would be allowed to ply across the city based on their registration numbers. For example, if a vehicle’s registration number ended with an odd digit, it would be allowed on the road on January 1, 2016, while a vehicle whose registration number ended with an even number would be allowed on January 2, and so on. The government thought that by implementing this rule and restricting the number of cars on the roads, pollution levels could be brought down..
