A draft plan has been presented to the NCR Planning Board to handle the increasing volume of traffic in the NCR. A K TIWARY writes
An integrated transport report has been prepared for the NCR Planning Board keeping in mind the increasing volume of traffic in the area.
The report has laid a road map for bypassing the traffic bottlenecks on the capital's periphery. Its prescription leads to 11 new expressways and two orbital railway corridors connecting major cities around Delhi. The connectivity plan is based on the study commissioned by the NCR planning board two years ago. The plan was approved in a board meeting recently. The board has decided to initiate action for priority implementation of a region-wide rail-based system connecting various metropolitan and regional centres and sub-regional centres.
