23 Aug 2024 CW Team

During the discussions, traffic officials requested the NHAI to widen the road at Kalindi Kunj and relocate the bus stop from Mukarba Chowk to Sanjay Gandhi Transport Nagar to alleviate congestion in these high-traffic areas. The meeting, attended by Special Commissioner of Police Ajay Chaudhary and NHAI Chairman Santosh Kumar Yadav, also covered other critical traffic issues, including the installation of speed cameras on NH-24 at the Kalyanpuri circle and cautionary signboards at the Ghazipur toll plaza.

Chaudhary emphasised the need for deploying traffic marshals and installing proper signage on NH-48 to ensure the smooth flow of traffic. Additional suggestions included installing rumble strips and iron grilles on NH-44 near Mukarba Chowk and putting up signboards at Meethapur Chowk and the Badarpur flyover.

The traffic police also urged the NHAI to share details of locations where ongoing construction was disrupting traffic, allowing for the development of alternative strategies for these routes. Requests were made for constructing a subway near the Rangpuri traffic lights on Mahipalpur flyover and an underground tunnel from Indira Gandhi International Airport?s Terminal 3 to NH-48 on Dwarka Road.

"There are several stretches in Delhi affected by vehicles using the national highways. Proper communication and coordination between the Delhi Traffic Police and NHAI are essential to ensure the smooth flow of traffic across the city," said Special Commissioner Chaudhary. He highlighted the importance of a joint effort involving stakeholders such as the Delhi Transport Corporation, the Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, and NHAI in reducing road accidents and easing traffic congestion in Delhi.

According to sources, the NHAI chief responded positively to the traffic police's requests and is expected to provide feedback on the suggestions shortly.
