New Delhi, May 19
In order to avoid traffic congestion in Karol Bagh, one-way traffic circulation plan will be implemented on trial basis on Padam Singh Road and Tank Road from May 20.
Thereafter, it would be implemented on four other roads of the area, Pyare Lal Road, Hardhyan Singh Road, Gurdwara Road, and Saraswati Marg. The initiative was taken to provide seamless and smooth traffic movement and to create a one-way loop system for comfortable movement of all modes of transport, said a police press release.
The plan was approved by the Unified Traffic and Transportation Infrastructure Centre (UTTIPEC) in April 2010.
The trial run on these roads was conducted for some time but could not be continued thereafter, the press release stated. Now in a concentrated effort by the Delhi Traffic Police, along with other civic agencies, one-way circulation plan on the six roads in the area is being revived.
About 50 traffic police officials, along with marshals from MCD, would be deployed to man all the intersections of Tank Road and Padam Singh Road to regulate the traffic.
