No action on Gurgaon cars taking U-turn at Rajokri

Vehicles which have to cross the Delhi border and take a U-turn at Rajokri flyover to go back to Gurgaon have been exempted from penalty under the odd-even scheme, the police here said on Tuesday.

The decision was taken by the Delhi police after a discussion with the Gurgaon police as residents here complained that they were being made to adhere to the odd-even scheme without actually travelling to national capital, city police commissioner Navdeep Singh Virk said.

Many of the commuters are residents of Ambience Island township on NH8, who have to enter Delhi and take a U-turn at the Rajokri flyover, after the earlier turning from Gurgaon expressway to their residence was sealed in March 2014.

Residents complained to the Gurgaon police commissioner on Monday that they were being asked to pay the penalty under odd-even scheme by Delhi traffic police despite having stickers stating they are residents of the township.

On the fifth day of the scheme, volume of traffic swelled during evening hours as morning was considerably congestion free.
