new Delhi: Delhi Traffic Police has identified 62 congested places in the city, most of which are located in the south and north of the capital, followed by west and East, Construction work on the roads, encroachments and volume of traffic plying on the roads were considered while determining the congested points. In a recent meeting of the traffic police, a plan was approved to decongest the congestion at these points.
In South Delhi, 14 congestion points were identified, among them an ashram where two major construction works were underway. One of them, the underpass, has been opened for commuters during the day, while the other, the extension of the flyover for the DND flyway, will continue till September. A traffic officer said, “Besides the ashram, the road is near the cave-in”. CGO Complex There is also a choke point on Lala Lajpat Rai Marg. Traffic diversion has been done and through social media we try to make the commuters aware of the congestion. We are holding several meetings with CPWD, PWD and other agencies to ensure that the works affecting the roads are completed in a time bound manner.
Similarly in North Delhi, 14 choke points have been identified, including the stretch at Kashmere Gate, in which buses are parked on the side of the road or crowded with people trying to get on and off the buses. Burari, Bawana, Azadpur and Gandhi Vihar Also red flagged. Outside the city a large number of people ply on the roads, which leads to heavy vehicular movement.

There are 10 congested points in both East and West Delhi. In the past, the intersection near Anand Vihar Bus Stand and Railway Station, Seelampur and Guru Tegh Bahadur Hospital was considered to be Chicken Neck.
