The Delhi Government on Thursday conducted a two-hour coordination trial run ahead of the 'Odd-Even' formula to be implemented from January 1 next year.

However, the test run was lackluster as hundreds of volunteers failed to show up.  The two-hour trial run was conducted between 9 am and 11 am.

Muktesh Chander, Special Commissioner of Police, Traffic, said that there was a good coordination between the Delhi Police and civil defence volunteers who were working under their guidance. "They also have placards through which they are creating awareness in the public," Chander said. "I am hopeful that the people of Delhi will follow the 'Odd-Even' formula and those who will not follow, will get a challan of Rs. 2000," he added.

The Department of Transport, Government of National Capital of Delhi, has issued orders prohibiting the parking of Odd Number non-transport four wheeled vehicles (motor cars etc.) on even dates and Even Number non-transport four wheeled vehicles (motor cars etc.) on odd days from January 1-15, 2016. The Odd numbered non-transport four wheeled vehicles (motor cars etc.) would be allowed to park only on odd dates. Similarly, the Even numbered non-transport four wheeled vehicles (motor cars etc.) would be allowed to park on even dates only. It has been advised that entry and/or exit of vehicles to all parking lots, either for use of general public or for staff, may be prohibited based on the restrictions imposed for the period from January 1-15, 2016.
