Odd-even kicks in:
Meanwhile, the Odd-Even scheme kicked in on Monday, the Delhi Police swung into action with the first fine levied upon a Delhite travelling in a car bearing an odd-number-ending license plate. Visuals show the police officers printing a challan as the passenger looks on. The Odd-even scheme is in operation till November 15.
Under the scheme, apart from exempted categories, only those non-transport four-wheeled vehicles will ply on the roads which have registration numbers ending with an even digit. Violations of the odd-even rule will invite a fine of Rs 4,000. Under the scheme, which is now implemented and will be in place till 8 pm, non-transport four-wheeled vehicles with registration numbers ending with an odd digit (1, 3, 5, 7, 9) will not be allowed on the roads on November 4, 6, 8, 12 and 14. Similarly, vehicles with registration numbers ending with an even digit (0, 2, 4, 6, 8) will not be allowed on the roads on November 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 and 15.
