No more odd-even scheme for vehicles in the state; here are the other relaxations

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Tuesday said that the odd-even scheme for vehicles has been called off in the state. The announcement came after reports suggested that there were some confusions between the government and police regarding the scheme.

The police had been stopping vehicles in various parts of the state citing the odd-even scheme. Though the Transport Secretary had directed the state police to refrain from stopping the vehicles, the police continued with the action on the basis of the scheme.

The chief minister also added that vehicles will be allowed on road from 7 am to 7 pm. However, these relaxations are not applicable to the containment zones in the state. Only essential services have been granted permission in the containment zones, he added.
