Delhi Lieutenant Governor T.S. Sandhu praised the Delhi Traffic Police for actively engaging with nearly 6,000 residents and civic agencies in over 30 meetings to address issues concerning pedestrian safety and unauthorized parking. Sandhu lauded the launch of Project SANGAM by the traffic police, aimed at providing citizen-centric solutions to enhance road safety and organization. The LG emphasized the importance of collaborative governance in delivering ground-up traffic solutions by involving communities in decision-making processes.
Sandhu highlighted the significance of bringing Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs), Market Welfare Associations (MWAs), and civic agencies like PWD and MCD together on a common platform through Project SANGAM. The initiative focuses on real-time resolution of issues such as unauthorized parking and pedestrian safety by actively engaging stakeholders. The LG mentioned that these efforts have already led to 30 meetings across key areas like Connaught Place, Saket, and Karol Bagh, involving a significant number of residents.
During a recent review of mobility and digital traffic management issues, the LG stressed the importance of leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) and community participation to ensure congestion-free roads. Sandhu emphasized the critical role of Delhi Traffic Police in positioning the city as a global investment and tourism hub. The LG also emphasized the need for increased on-ground visibility of traffic police, particularly at congestion hotspots, to ensure smoother traffic flow and reduce pollution.
