Talking about initiatives taken by his government Friday to tackle pollution, Mr Kejriwal said vacuum-cleaning of all PWD roads will begin from April 1 and grass will be planted on side kerbs and central verges of all arterial roads to remove dust.He said tenders will be floated very soon to procure vacuum cleaners from abroad as such machines are not available here.With experts and Opposition parties questioning the practicability of the scheme, Mr Kejriwal said many things were yet to be thrashed out, including exemptions for certain private vehicles, and that it was a decision taken in principle which will be “thought through”.“A sort of panic was created that pollution has increased so much that something drastic has to be done,” he said.”Amid widespread apprehension over the odd and even number plate scheme for private vehicles, the Delhi CM was conciliatory and said it would be tried for a limited period of time and would be stopped if there were problems galore..Seeking to assuage concerns, Mr Kejriwal said his government would not allow the people to be inconvenienced..He said he had thought of introducing such a measure only after taking a number of steps, including redesigning the roads, augmenting public transport by bringing at least 10,000 buses and constructing dedicated elevated roads for buses.

If there are too many problems, it will be stopped. We will experiment with it for some time.Chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday said he “will not do anything that creates problem for the people of Delhi”. If there are too many problems, it will be stopped,” he said at an event on Saturday.“In principle, a decision has been taken. Many things are yet to be thrashed out.Mr Kejriwal said his government had planned to introduce the scheme at a later stage after strengthening the public transport system but was forced to take the drastic step following “panic” in the wake of the Delhi high court’s observation that the city has become a “gas chamber”. Speaking on his government’s odd-even formula, he added: “Many things have to be sorted out.. The CM said Euro 6 emission norms will be implemented in Delhi from 2017 as against the Centre’s plan to make it mandatory from 2019.In a radical step to clutch booster curb air pollution, the city government on Friday announced that private vehicles bearing odd and even registration numbers will be allowed to ply only on alternate days starting January 1, 2016. Maybe for 15 days
