Vehicles found flouting the odd-even number plate rule will have to pay a fine of Rs 2,000, the Delhi government announced on Monday. The rule will be effective in the city on a trial basis from January 1 to 15. In a meeting chaired by Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, the government also discussed exemptions from the rule. Cars with women passengers and four people, except for families, are likely be exempted, reported The Indian Express.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal also wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking his cooperation on the government’s initiative. “I want to request you through this letter to inspire your ministers and secretaries to observe the same. This will send out a good message to the residents of Delhi and our efforts will get support. I believe that if there is a directive or appeal from your side to follow or comply with these rules than it will have a major impact,” Kejriwal wrote.
