NEW DELHI: The real test for Arvind Kejriwal's Odd-Even anti-pollution rule began on Monday, with Delhi getting back to work after a long weekend. Today is January 4, which means that only cars with even registration numbers are allowed on the capital's roads.
The measure, aimed at cutting down Delhi's dangerously high air pollution, came into effect from January 1.
The Delhi government said it is prepped to meet the challenge. Volunteers, including National Cadet Corps and National Service Scheme cadets, have been asked to use hidden cameras to take pictures of those who violate the rule and additional policemen have been stationed to ensure compliance.
Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his cabinet have pledged to show the way by example. "On my way to office," tweeted Delhi minister Kapil Mishra, using the hashtag #IamWithOddEven. The tourist minister is travelling to work by bus.
