Police submit proposal to NDTA, NDMC after series of meetings
To decongest traffic and ensure no unauthorisied parking at Connaught Place (CP), the Delhi Traffic Police submitted a proposal to civic authorities to upgrade the “underutilised” underground parking near Palika Bazar, said officers on Sunday. They said traffic congestion at CP, especially during weekends, is primarily due to shortage of parking space and less room on footpaths because of encroachment by hawkers. “We want to get the underground parking as well as the multi-level parking properly utilised,” a senior traffic police official said. He also said at present, the underground parking area in Palika Bazaar is being used only 40% . “Even the multi-level parking system at Baba Kharak Singh Marg is being utilised for only about 20-30% while the surface parking is being fully used,” the official added.More Related News
