In order to curb the smog menace around the city of Paris , French authorities are now enforcing a partial ban on motor vehicles entering the city .The new policy will be forced from 5.30am (0430GMT) and it will extend until Tuesday .The City of Paris and 22 surrounding areas are to be patrolled by 700 police officers in 60 checkpoints , Electric , hybrid and cars carrying more than 3 people are exempt while gasoline powered cars and motorbikes with licence plates ending in odd digits are also free from the ban .The ban however has mixed reactions and the French Automobile Association (ACA) said the move was "hasty.ineffective" and "Bound to lead to chaos" because the measure had "no effect in any country where it was introduced ".
