Odd-even phase 2: Real test begins as schools and offices reopen today

New Delhi: Three days after Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s odd-even scheme was implemented in Delhi, it faced its real test on Monday when it witnessed maximum traffic during office hours. “Today is the litmus test for odd-even scheme. And just like our last time attempt to make it a success, we have to cooperate with each other,” Delhi Transport Minister Gopal Rai tweeted.

Meanwhile, heavy traffic was seen near the Akshardham intersection and at the Mayur Vihar-Noida road. Delhi Water Minister Kapil Mishra on Monday took a metro from Civil Lines station to attend a meeting. The 15-day odd-even traffic scheme started on 15 April and aims to put odd- and even-numbered vehicles on the roads on alternate dates.
