#OddEven  #Delhi  Phase 2 of Delhi’s Odd-Even Rule Begins: Guidelines and Tips to Follow #Carpool ,

#Delhi : After the first stint in January, 2016, Delhi’s second outing with the odd even rule came into effect today. Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal took to Twitter to ask residents of the nation’s capital to make the odd even formula a success.

Odd even starts today. Lets all join hands and resolve to make it a success.

Under the purview of the scheme, which will stay in effect till 30 April, cars with an odd registration number are allowed to ply on odd dates and even-numbered cars on even dates. One must note, the odd even scheme is not applicable on Sundays.

Most guidelines and expemptions from the first log are still applicable with the only change being the inclusion of parents driving children to school in the list of odd even formula’s exemptions. However, Delhi Transport Minister Gopal Rai admitted the government has been unable to find a solution about how children will be picked up in cars after school.

Here’s a complete list of odd even scheme’s exemptions:

Emergency services vehicles, such as ambulances, fire engines, and those belonging to hospitals, prisons, hearses and law enforcement vehicles
SPG (Special Protection Group) protectees
Vehicles with Defence Ministry number plates
Pilot cars
Embassy cars
Two-wheelers
Cars driven by single women
Parents ferrying children to school
To ensure enforcement, nearly a group of 2,500 personnel will be stationed across 200 points in Delhi. Furthermore, this time ex-servicemen have been tasked with patrolling inner streets. Gopal Rai said, “We will deploy 400 newly hired ex-servicemen besides the 180 transport department personnel already on enforcement duty. The ex-servicemen will be deployed in mobile teams with powers to challan violators.”

With that said, here are some tips to deal with the phase 2 of the odd even scheme:

Carpool
Use public transport
Avail a shuttle service
For the second phase of the ‘odd-even rule,’#Delhi #CM #ArvindKejriwal has also introduced a new helpline number – 011-422400400, where Delhi citizens can call to clarify any doubts related to odd-even traffic scheme. He also mentioned that the Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) will gauge the impact of the second phase of the odd-even plan on the capital’s air quality at 119 locations in and around the city.
