Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking his cooperation on the 'odd-even' initiative, and said directives or a public appeal by him in this regard would have

a "major impact".

In a letter, Kejriwal apprised the Prime Minister that he, along with his colleagues, would carpool to office during the January 1-15 period when the vehicle rationing scheme will kick in and urged Modi to request Union ministers and secretaries to do the same.

Kejriwal said the AAP government had to resort to the "unexpected and disagreeable decision" in order to mitigate air pollution in Delhi, which has assumed "dreadful proportions".
