Odd-Even Scheme: Action Against Those Misusing The Law, says Bassi

With the AAP government all set to implement the odd-even scheme, Delhi Police Commissionner B S Bassi today said the policy is being rolled out in a hurry and action will be taken against any volunteer who takes law into his hands by forcing motorists to follow the restrictions. Delhi Police today received a notification regarding the odd-even policy, following which the commissioner held a meeting with senior traffic officials and initiated an action plan. Bassi also said that he has sent a list of suggestions to the Chief Secretary of Delhi Government on the matter. Bassi said that volunteers can contribute to the implementation of the scheme only after they report to office of the DCP (traffic) of the concerned zone. Volunteers can be used in making people aware of the scheme at parking lots or traffic intersections. “However, the volunteers cannot stop people just anywhere and ask them to go back home, which would result in violation of provisions of the India Penal Code,” said Bassi, adding, if any private individual is found indulging in any act which constitutes a criminal offence, they would take action.
