Delhi: Plan to make Connaught Place walking friendly to be tested today

“In the new plan, cars can only access the parking lots. The inner circle will be barricaded to cordon off the public area with the car parking line,” the official said.

The restricted movement on Sunday will be between 9 am and 9 pm. Based on the feedback, the NDMC will decide the future of the plan, he said.

On Saturday, traders in CP staged a protest as NDMC conducted a mock drill of the pedestrianisation plan, miffed with the council for allegedly not keeping them in confidence about it.

Fearing it would affect business, traders had earlier objected to the plan, to make the inner circle completely car-free, following which the NDMC had tweaked it.
