Separately, the Delhi government has taken steps to tackle the city’s traffic problems. The PWD (Public Works Department) has announced a significant initiative. PWD Delhi officials told the Indian Express that three major locations in Delhi – Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGI Airport), New Delhi Railway Station (NDLS), and ITO (Indian Toilet Office Chowk) – frequently experience heavy traffic and long jams due to numerous traffic signals and slow-moving vehicles. The PWD plans to construct elevated roads or underpasses in these areas to create signal-free traffic flow. The aim is to provide smoother and faster movement for city residents and reduce traffic congestion.
