To improve the air quality, the odd-even rule is back, and wood fire has been banned in restaurants.
Delhi pollution: measures to control AQI, the Air Quality Index (AQI). Delhi is currently facing severe pollution, with dangerously high PM 2.5 levels, almost 80 times over the safe limit. To combat this, the government's rolled out a series of measures:

Odd-even rule: Starting from 13th to 20th November, cars with odd or even number plates will operate on alternate days.
Wood and coal ban: About a month ago, this ban in restaurants and hotels aimed to curb air pollution when the AQI crossed 200.
Remote work: 50% of Delhi government employees are now working from home until further notice.
School closures: Authorities might shut down schools due to the high pollution levels.
Vehicle restrictions: Only BS6 diesel, EVs, CNG vehicles, and those providing essential services are permitted in Delhi. Others are restricted.
These measures aim to ease the pollution crisis and ensure public safety. If you're planning a trip to Delhi, it's best to stay updated with these guidelines
