Delhi government plans dry run of odd-even rule, top cop says no idea
December 29, 2015 02:42
A dry run of the odd-even traffic rule will be held by the government on Wednesday from 8 am to 8 pm as a rehearsal of the plan during which no one will be booked for violations.
The ruling Aam Aadmi Party has called it a 'full rehearsal' where every arrangement will be the same as when the new rule will be enforced on January 1.
However, Delhi police chief B S Bassi has said that he is not aware of any such plan..
'Not aware of any rehearsal plan of odd even on 30th December 2015,' Bassi tweeted.
From 1 January, the Delhi government has planned to deploy 10,000 volunteers across the city to ensure the scheme is 'effectively implemented'.
This plan has also not gone down well with Bassi, who warned against vigilantism.
'Delhi Police to assist odd-even to protect environment. Volunteers not to act on their own. Even stopping or asking someone to return is an IPC crime (sic),' he said in another tweet.
