Economic Times - Delhi government today issued a notification on the fortnight long oddeven car rationing scheme that comes into force from April 15, but there is still no clarity as to how parents would pick up their children from schools during the implementation period. The Arvind Kejriwal government has decided to exempt women and cars carrying schoolchildren in uniform in the second round of the road rationing plan. Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday said that there are cases where a child may not be in the car on one side of the journey and it will cause a little trouble to parents. Kejriwal advised parents to explore the carpooling option or "adjust" their children with neighbours as there will be just nine working days during the scheme.
In the notification, the city government said violation of oddeven rules will attract a fine of
Rs 2,000 in accordance with the provisions of subsection (1) of section 194 of Motor
Vehicles Act, 1988.
Other exemptions include VIP and CNG cars, cases of medical emergency and cars carrying disabled persons. On Saturday, Chief Minister Kejriwal had said that his government was "seriously" mulling a proposal to enforce the oddeven scheme for
15 days every month.
Transport Minister Gopal Rai said Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) and Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) have geared up to tackle
any extra rush as commuters turn to public conveyance during the period when the oddeven scheme is in force.
"Metro will increase its trips to 3,248 per day and add 30 coaches.
Extra security personnel would be deployed and number of ticket
counters at metro stations would be increased," he said.
