Starting from January 1, the Delhi government successfully implemented the Odd-Even rule in the city for 15 days. This new rule was to control the city’s alarming pollution levels and of course the traffic menace. Apprehensive civilians, even though were skeptical initially, supported this new rule understanding its advantages.
Now, the Telangana Road Transport Authority (RTA) is all set to implement the same rule in Hyderabad. After a formal discussion with the Pollution Control Board, the RTA officials forwarded a detailed proposal to the government and is waiting for the think tank’s green light.
In this Odd-Even rule, cars with number plates ending with an odd number will ply on the roads only on odd dates and cars with number plates ending with an even number will ply on the roads only on even dates. Those who violated the rule had to cough up Rs.2,000 as fine.
However, bureaucrats, women, patients and physically challenged commuters, emergency vehicles like ambulance and fire engines were exempted from this rule, along with all CNG-driven vehicles, electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles and two-wheelers etc.
