Terming the rise in air pollution in the Delhi-NCR an "emergency" situation, the
Supreme Court last week asked the Centre and the Delhi government to take
immediate measures to improve the air quality and suggested steps such as
stopping vehicles and clamping a lockdown in the national capital.

The transport department held a meeting with private bus operators for hiring
buses to increase their frequency on different routes and augment the existing
몭eet of public transport buses.

"We had a meeting with the transport commissioner and other o몭cers. Several
bus operators attended the meeting and offered to provide 500 CNG buses in
case odd-even scheme is implemented," the transport department o몭cer said.

The meeting was "exploratory" in nature as efforts are being made to augment
the public transport system in the city, he said.

A decision on the odd-even scheme is yet to be made, the o몭cial added.

The odd-even scheme is a vehicle rationing scheme under which odd and even
numbered vehicles ply on alternate days. Vehicles with registration numbers
ending in odd numbers are allowed on the roads on odd days and even-numbered
vehicles are allowed on even days.

According to the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP), air quality is considered
to be in the "emergency" category if the PM2.5 and PM10 levels continue to be
above 300 micrograms per cubic metre and 500 micrograms per cubic metre
respectively for 48 hours or more.

The "emergency" situation requires taking various steps, including stopping entry
of trucks in Delhi, banning construction activities and introducing the odd-even
car rationing scheme.
