Now, a plan to make Subhash Marg in Daryaganj one-way

New Delhi: Months ahead of the Commonwealth Games, there are plans aplenty to make Delhi picture-perfect for the hordes of tourists coming for the Games. One such plan doing the rounds is to make Daryaganj a one-way street.

Officials of the Shahjahanabad Redevelopment Corporation (SRC) revealed that the corporation is mulling a proposal to make Subhash Marg in Daryaganj one way. ‘‘There have been representations from traders and residents of the area to make the road one-way. We have forwarded the proposal to the traffic police and will hold discussions on the proposal to reach a consensus,’’ said Savitur Prasad, managing director, SRC.

The proposal came after issues of safety and security were raised. According to a senior government official, the idea behind making the road one-way is not only to reduce the heavy traffic movement in the area which leads to serious safety issues but also to ensure that the locality remains attractive and visitor-friendly, especially in view of the coming Commonwealth Games.

Delhi traffic police, meanwhile, are opposing the plan. Their contention is that if vehicles are diverted towards the Ring Road via New Daryaganj Road, it will lead to congestion at the Shanti Van crossing.
