NDMC Chairman Proposes Vehicle-Free Inner Circle at Connaught Place, Seeks Public Input
New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) Chairman Manoj Dwivedi has proposed making Connaught Place's Inner Circle vehicle-free to enhance pedestrian access. He invited public suggestions on whether this should apply all day or during specific hours—6 pm to midnight in summer and 11 am to 4 pm in winter—and on preferred activities during these times. The area has previously hosted pedestrian-only events like Raahgiri CP on select Sundays. The proposal aims to balance pedestrian use with vehicular movement during other hours.
