Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal announced on Monday odd-even scheme would not be extended as pollution levels had gone down. The odd-even scheme was operational between November 4 to November 15.
"The sky is clear now, so there is no need of it," Kejriwal said at a press meet on Monday.
On its last day, CM Kejriwal had said that a decision on extension of the odd-even plan would be taken on November 18 after monitoring the weather situation. He had said that the pollution levels were likely to go down considering an increased wind speed.
Commenting on bottom ranking of Delhi in tap water quality, Kejriwal said that any city's water quality cannot be judged on basis of 11 samples. "Ram Vilas Paswan ji isn't disclosing where samples were taken from. I'll take 5 samples from each ward of Delhi, get it checked and put data in public," he added.
