April 19, 2016 00:58

A total of 710 motorists were challaned for violation of odd-even rule today, the first full working day of the fortnight long road rationing scheme, a number which was significantly less than the violators caught

on past two days.

Delhi Traffic Police challaned 256 violators while Transport department and district administration teams issued challans to 454 violators for driving odd-numbered vehicles on the even date.

One prominent violator BJP MP Vijay Goel was also fined Rs 2000 for violating the rule near Raisina Road. Goel violated the rule protesting against Kejriwal government's "huge" expenditure on advertisements of the scheme.

The largest number of violators were caught by Traffic police in east (34), south east (34), New Delhi (33) and west (30) districts. The number of violators was low in central, north east, outer, south west and north districts, ranging from 14-19.

The first day of odd-even implementation on April 15 saw a total of 1,311 violations, while next day 1,002 violators were challaned.
