North Delhi Municipal Corporation (NMC) has decided to extend facility at Ramlila Maidan free of cost to those registered organisations which has been organasing events at Parade ground and ground in front of Red Fort for years and is not able to hold any function due to the beautification work of the main road of Chandni Chowk.
On December 7, Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia laid the foundation stone for redevelopment works in Chandni Chowk and said once the project is completed it will boost tourism in the area.
With the project commenced the streets of Chadni Chowk decongested by restricting vehicular movement during the day, making it difficult for locals to hold any function.
As per the development plan laid out by the Unified Traffic and Transportation Infrastructure (Planning & Engineering) Centre (UTTIPEC), there will be 5.5 meter wide carriageway on the both sides with a central verge; there will be a footpath along northern and southern carriageway of 5.75 m and 12.75 m wide respectively.
