Do not lie, Delhi police chief urges Delhiites on odd-even rule

New Delhi, Dec 29 (IBNS): Days before the implementation of the odd-even rule for private cars in the national capital, Delhi police chief BS Bassi has urged Delhiites not to lie about being sick.
"The notification clearly says checks regarding odd-even violations concerning medical emergency for the sick will be based on mutual trust. Thus I request all citizens to start 2016 with the truth and not to lie about being sick," Bassi told media.
 
From January 1, the  vehicles with number plates ending with an odd number will be allowed to ply one day and those ending with an even number the next day.
 
Transport Minister Gopal Rai had said odd-numbered cars would be allowed on odd dates, like January 1, 3 and 5, and even-numbered cars on even dates. 
 
On Sundays, all private cars will be allowed to ply on roads.
 
Women drivers, those with children below 12, CNG cars and a number of 'VIPs' except Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will be exempted from the odd-even formula for the first 15 days of the New Year.
 
However, this rule is not applicable on public transport.
 
The Delhi government earlier said that it hoped to cut down vehicular pollution in the state by half with this measure.
 
Kejriwal had also  promised to scrap the system if people find it hard to follow it in the first 15 days.
