Auto drivers get uneven attention on Day Two
Relentless prosecution aided by sparse traffic sent prosecution figures soaring on the second day of the odd-even scheme on Saturday. Drivers – especially auto rickshaws that either refused potential fares, refused to run by meters or both – were issued fines for non-compliance with the anti-pollution experiment’s guidelines despite visibly less police deployment. The 'Apsara' border between Delhi and Uttar Pradesh, which saw rather heavy deployment of Delhi Police and Delhi Traffic Police personnel on Friday, the day one of the odd-even plan, saw minimal number of police personnel on day two. On Friday, Delhi Traffic Police personnel kept a keen eye on cars coming in from Ghaziabad and stopped them even though they were not penalised and a team of Delhi Police and Delhi Civil Defence personnel kept a watch on vehicles coming from Anand Vihar side and turning left towards Shahdara. While the total number of private vehicle drivers issued challans by the traffic police jumped from 138 to 229, the Transport Department said it fined 47 cars as opposed to none on Friday even as 208 auto rickshaw drivers were issued fines for refusal to ply and not using their meters compared to just 64 on Friday.
