MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOME AFFAIRS (SHRI HARIBHAI PARATHIBHAI CHAUDHARY)

(a):    The details of the areas prone to traffic congestion in NCT of Delhi are at Annexure.

(b)to(d): The  difficulties  being  faced  by  Delhites/school-goers  due  to heavy traffic jams in the NCT of Delhi are in the knowledge of Delhi Police. The Delhi Traffic Police is constantly engaged in regulation, enforcement and  education  to  road  users  in  the  NCT  of  Delhi  with  an  objective  to provide safe & smooth flow of traffic on Delhi roads. Towards this, in the present  traffic  scenario  of  the  city,  the  utmost  priorities  of  Delhi  Police are as under:-

- To provide safe and smooth flow of traffic
- To effectively enforce traffic rules and regulations

## L.S.US.Q.NO.1401 FOR 08.12.2015

- To prevent and reduce road accidents
- To inculcate road safety awareness through education.
- Induction of modern technology in traffic management.

As regards traffic problems from Sarita Vihar to Kalindi Kunj, the reasons are  -  heavy  volume  of  traffic,  ongoing  DMRC  construction  works  near Jasola,  narrow  Yamuna  bridge  at  Kalindi  Kunj,  increase  of  traffic  after opening of Sarita Vihar underpass etc.  In order to streamline traffic in the area, adequate number of traffic police personnel are deployed to regulate traffic.  In  addition,  motor  cycle  patrol  staff  is  also  deployed  for  mobile patrolling on this stretch to remove any bottlenecks and prosecute drivers found  violating  traffic  rules  &  regulations.    In  order  to  streamline  the traffic from Okhla Beraj to Sarita Vihar Delhi,  Gautambuddh Nagar Police has also deployed Traffic Police Personnel and Mobile Van.
