The chaotic traffic situation at Chandni Chowk is soon going to be a thing of the past. Delhi's Lieutenant-Governor Tejinder Khanna has given the green light to Municipal Corporation of Delhi's ambitious Chandni Chowk redevelopment project on Friday. The civic agency plans to start work on the project by the end of March. As per the plan, the entry of motor vehicles will be not allowed inside Chandni Chowk during the daytime.
Unified Traffic and Transportation Infrastructure (Planning & Engineering) Centre ( UTTIPEC), a DDA-constituted body which looks at all transportation projects and transport engineering solutions in Delhi, experts had approved the project last week during a site inspection. "The L-G has given his approval to the project. The decision was taken in a meeting today. Our plan is in place and we just have to hold a meeting with residents of Chandni Chowk to discuss the plan. This will help us in decongesting this area which has historical significance,'' said Deep Mathur, director, press and information, MCD.
