To ensure a hassle-free commute on the occasion of 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev, there will be no odd-even restrictions on vehicles on November 11 and 12 in Delhi, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said on Friday.

Originally, the government had announced the odd-even scheme between November 4 and November 15 to fight air pollution. It is effective between 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
