Delhi Traffic Congestion Falls Nearly One-Third Over Three Months with AI Measures
Delhi's traffic congestion has decreased by nearly one-third over the past three months, dropping from 48.25 km to 32.43 km on average, according to officials. This improvement is attributed to enhanced enforcement, infrastructure upgrades, and expanded use of AI-based traffic management systems under the 'Project Sangam' initiative. While congestion eased at 34 of 62 priority hotspots, some areas like Bhavbhuti Marg and Max Hospital saw increased traffic due to construction and other factors. Lieutenant Governor Taranjit Singh Sandhu reviewed these measures and urged further expansion of digital monitoring.
