LG Sandhu seeks market traders’ feedback on encroachments, traffic, parking issues

Delhi Lieutenant Governor Taranjit Singh Sandhu has sought feedback from representatives of major markets on issues including unauthorised encroachments, traffic congestion and parking management, while stressing the need to keep commercial hubs accessible and orderly.

Sandhu interacted with representatives of market and traders’ associations from several prominent markets, including Sarojini Nagar, Lajpat Nagar, Connaught Place, Mori Gate and Chandni Chowk, where issues affecting traders, shoppers and daily business were discussed.

During the meeting, the lieutenant governor also sought first-hand feedback on the effectiveness of ‘Jan Sunwai’ being conducted by the Delhi Police at police stations across the city. 

He said direct interaction with traders and residents was important to assess whether public grievances relating to safety, traffic, encroachments and other local issues were being addressed promptly.

The meeting brought together trade leaders and commercial representatives to deliberate on long-term, actionable solutions to ground-level bottlenecks, including unauthorised encroachments, persistent traffic snarls, chaotic parking management, and the functioning of public grievance mechanisms.

The representatives raised concerns regarding encroachments, traffic snarls and parking arrangements in busy commercial areas, according to a statement issued by the lieutenant governor’s office.
