NDMC plans to make Connaught Place car-free
The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) is planning to ban vehicles from the inner circle of Connaught Place (CP) in Delhi, making it accessible only to pedestrians starting from April 1. The centre is reportedly keen to showcase green CP for 'Swachh Bharat' and 'Smart City' initiatives. However, shopkeepers fear that their "business will suffer hugely if cars are prohibited".
