Pollution level rises in the state
Haryana chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar is planning to implement an odd-even scheme in the Haryana state to check the pollution level.
According to the statement, the Chief Minister said, "Haryana Govt is planning to implement the odd-even scheme for vehicles. We have also prepared a committee of engineers, Gurugram municipal corporation commissioner, and DC to look for alternatives to reduce pollution." Adding more, the CM said, "the directions given to us by the supreme court yesterday like closing the schools, colleges, and industries for a few days and closure of some thermal plants are also being considered." CM also formed a committee to control pollution in 4 districts of NCR in the state.
Meanwhile, the schools and colleges in the National capital have been shut due to incessant rise in pollution. All the construction activities are forcefully stopped as per the notice by the authority.
What is an odd-even scheme?
It is implemented in Delhi earlier, due to the incessant rise in pollution levels. Vehicles also play a major role in hampering the environment in terms of pollution levels. Only cars have ending digits with even numbers. 2,4,6,8 can ply one day and other odd digits vehicles will ply over another day alternatively.
Pollution levels in the states such as Delhi, Haryana,Noida and some parts of Uttar Pradesh are covered badly under pollution. The states are implementing several guidelines, schemes, and programs to curb the pollution level of the state.
