New Delhi: The Odd-Even rule is all set to be implemented in Delhi from January 1st, but it is not clear as to what will be the punishment for the offenders. It is speculated that Delhiites may have to pay a fine of Rs 2,000 for violating the odd-even rule.
According to sources, the final proposal has been submitted to the government and chief minister Arvind Kejriwal will soon take a final call on this issue.
The Delhi government had recently asked the department to prepare a proposal to finalise the penalty that will have to be paid for the violation of odd-even rules.
As per the transport department’s proposal, under Section 115 of Motor Vehicle Act, government has powers to restrict the use of vehicles and the violation of this rule would entail punishment of Rs 2,000 as prescribed under Section 194 of the Act, said an official.
To curb rising pollution level in the national capital, Delhi government decided to introduce odd-even scheme to be implemented starting January 1.
Government will install remote sensor cameras on some roads to access traffic loads during this scheme.
