New Delhi: Delhi government’s odd-even scheme on car movement to curb pollution in the national capital started on Friday.

As there was less traffic, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal hoped that the plan would be successful.

“Hello Delhi! Ready for odd-even? We shall overcome,” he tweeted.

As per the rule, cars with odd-number registration would be allowed to ply on Friday.

Those not abiding the rule would be fined Rs.2,000.

Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said he will use his cycle on even numbered days. “I own a car that ends with odd number, I will use it on odd days, and on even days I will reach Delhi Secretariat on cycle,” he said.

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal who has an odd-numbered car, can use his car today. He said he will provide carpooling in his official vehicle to two ministers – Transport Minister Gopal Rai and Health Minister Satyendar Jain. Tourism Minister Kapil Mishra took a motorbike to work.
