NEW DELHI: The National Green Tribunal (NGT) on Saturday gave its nod for the implementation of the Delhi government's odd-even car rationing scheme for five days from November 13 to tackle high pollution level, with certain riders.
However, this time, the green tribunal made some alterations to the scheme and gave it the green signal with the 'subject to conditions'.
Here are the rules for 2017 Delhi odd-even scheme:
Violation of odd-even rule will lead to levy a fine of Rs 2000 as per the provisions of sub-section (1) of section 194 under Motor Vehicle Act, 1988.
The tribunal rejected the idea of enhancing parking fees, as suggested by EPCA, to decrease the air pollution, and said it will only add to the problem of traffic congestion on the road.
NGT observed that water sprinkling is a better way to control the pollution. It asked the Uttar Pradesh government over the number of violators challaned in Noida and Greater Noida during the 'emergency' like situation.
NGT asked traffic police to deploy its personnel at traffic lights, observing that almost all the main roads in the city are witness to diesel vehicles which are older than 10 years and petrol vehicles which are older than 15 years.
The car-rationing scheme, which was enforced twice in the national capital in 2016, will be in place between November 13 and 17 from 8 am to 8 pm.
Under the policy, private vehicles are allowed to run based on the last number of their licence plates.
Odd-numbered cars are allowed to run on odd dates while even-numbered cars can only run on even dates.
