Delhi News: Come to India Gate only after reading the traffic advisory, new arrangement for auto-taxi and vehicles

Special Correspondent, New Delhi: Ever since the Kartavya Path and Central Vista were built, the footfall of visitors to India Gate has increased manifold. It is likely to increase further as the summer season approaches. Especially from evening to night there is a lot of rush around India Gate. This is not only affecting the traffic passing through the C-Hexagon, but is also a concern for the safety of pedestrians. Apart from this, parking at unauthorized places is also increasing the headache of the traffic police. In view of this, the Delhi Traffic Police on Wednesday issued an advisory urging people to reach India Gate using public transport as much as possible, cross the road on foot only at marked places and if coming by car, Park the vehicle only in the authorized parking lot. The traffic police has also informed people about the nearest metro stations, bus stops, pick and drop points of auto-taxis, authorized parking lots and road crossing points.
