In the wake of the deteriorating air quality in Delhi, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today said that decision on odd-even car scheme is likely to be taken in a day or two if need arises.

The Delhi Chief Minister's statement is in line with the Delhi High Court today asking the state government to consider bringing the odd-even scheme back to restrict vehicular movement, bring down traffic congestion and unclog the Capital.

Reiterating his "gas chamber" remark, Arvind Kejriwal today said that the whole of northern India, and not just Delhi, turns into a gas chamber from mid-October to mid-November every year.

"The alarming increase in particulate matter (PM) levels in Delhi is not just due to local reasons, people and government of Delhi are ready to take all steps but these steps will not be enough until a solution to crop burning is found," Kejriwal said and sought cooperation from the Centre and neighbouring states.

"Until state governments don't find economically viable solutions to crop burning, it will not stop," the Delhi Chief Minister said and asked "Central government, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab and Haryana governments to come together and put aside politics" so that a solution can be found.
