Indian authorities announced an odd-even scheme for movement of private cars in the Indian capital from Nov.
NEW DELHI — Indian authorities on Friday announced a plan to restrict the movement of private cars in the capital for nearly two weeks after a major Hindu festival that features fireworks that cloak the area with toxic smog and dust. Kejriwal appealed to people not to light firecrackers during the Diwali festival on Oct. 27 to prevent smoke from accumulating in air.
Air pollution generally peaks from Nov. 1 with toxic smoke from the burning of agricultural fields in the neighboring northern states of Haryana and Punjab blow in because of a change in wind direction.
