Odd-even scheme: Fake licence plates will cost you, warns minister

Rai also launched a more sophisticated version of the PoochO App, which will help commuters get in touch with autorickshaw drivers and taxi drivers. As many as 15,000 autorickshaw drivers were already registered on the app, said the minister.

“You will find phone numbers of autorickshaw drivers, who are near your locality, on the app. You can call them for a pick- up,” said the minister.

The app, developed by the Delhi Integrated Multi-Model Transit System (DIMTS), was launched by the Delhi government in July last year. The app can be downloaded on Android phones and commuters can use GPS on their cell phones to find an autorickshaw.

On Monday, the Delhi government had announced that a fine of Rs 2,000 will be levied on vehicles found flouting the odd-even rule.

The government will announce the rest of the policies and rules pertaining to the odd-even formula later this week.
