NDMC to deal with traffic congestion, parking woes

The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) is exploring ways to deal with problem of traffic congestion and parking in areas under its jurisdiction.
"I have got to know about various areas where problem of traffic congestion is being faced by the residents or occupants. Few have raised issues about parking problems too. We are exploring ways to deal with them and will be soon coming up with a solution," newly elected NDMC chairman Naresh Kumar told reporters today.
The civic body also plans to upgrade the infrastructure and facilities in its schools.
"There will be two phases of upgradation of the infrastructure. While the coming six months will be allocated for planning, the next six will see the upgradation to meet the global standards," he added.

Kumar said that NDMC plans to ensure that the basic facilities to its residents are provided first and then special projects are taken up.
Measures to check water logging in the NDMC area during monsoon will also be taken, he added.
