NDMC Seeks Public Input on Vehicle-Free Hours for Connaught Place Inner Circle
The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) is considering making Connaught Place's Inner Circle vehicle-free for limited hours, seeking public input on timings and activities. Proposed schedules include evening restrictions in summer and daytime in winter, with longer weekend closures. While some residents support pedestrianisation to enhance safety and public events, traders express concerns about business impact, parking shortages, and increased traffic congestion on surrounding roads. NDMC emphasizes gathering feedback before finalising any plans, aiming for a flexible, community-informed approach.
