India Traffic restriction by car number Severe air pollution control November 4 at 19:56
In New Delhi, the capital city of India, where air pollution has become a serious problem, measures have been started to limit traffic by the number of cars and control pollution.
In India, the world's worst level of air pollution is a serious problem, but this is particularly worse during this period due to the effects of field burning and the use of large numbers of firecrackers and fireworks at Hindu festivals.
In New Delhi, PM2.5, an air pollutant, has exceeded 20 times the standard on the morning of the 4th. The sky is cloudy in gray even though it is clear, and nearby buildings are also hazy.
For this reason, measures to control traffic during the day began every day depending on whether the last digit of the car number was odd or even from the 4th to the 15th. When violated, a fine of approximately 6000 yen was imposed on the Japanese yen, and police officers in masks on the street checked for violations.
In New Delhi, all schools are closed until the 5th, and the impact is widespread due to poor visibility and aircraft destinations landing at New Delhi airports.
The woman in the mask said, “The air pollution is so bad that it seems to be sucking dust instead of the air. I think this measure will be a little better, but another method should be done.”
