Pedestrianization of Karol Bagh

Karol Bagh area which is one of the important commercial hubs of the capital is getting choked on account of an un-controlled flow of traffic. There is hardly any scope for free movement of pedestrians leave aside vehicles. As an initial step for improving pedestrianization of a high density commercial areas, the Commission had chosen Karol Bagh.

The issues involved include :

1. To identify the area needing urgent attention for the study of pedestrianization of the area.
2. Land in the vicinity that can be made available or generated by way of relocating some functions.
3. Exploration of use of land below the ground or creation of basement for the use of parking etc.
4. Services such as sewerage, water supply, drainage, electricity that needs to be either maintained or augmented.
5. Need for involvement of the local Traders Association for such an exercise.
