New Delhi, Aug 28 (PTI) A joint on-site inspection was conducted at Anand Vihar Railway Station and the surrounding National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) area on Friday to assess traffic congestion, pedestrian movement, public amenities and air pollution-related concerns, officials said.
The inspection was carried out in coordination with the East Delhi district administration under the guidance of District Magistrate (East) Karanjit and DCP Traffic (East) Shweta Singh, according to a statement.
Officials from various departments inspected the entry and exit points of the railway station and surrounding roads and reviewed issues related to traffic flow, pedestrian movement, escalator availability, access to the park and movement of e-rickshaws, it stated.
Discussions also covered measures to ensure smoother movement of passengers and vehicles at the station, along with better pedestrian access and more systematic operation of e-rickshaws, according to the district administration.
Air pollution control was also a key focus during the inspection.
Officials said traffic congestion and unnecessary vehicle stoppages can contribute to higher emissions, while movement on dusty roads can resuspend road dust. They discussed measures such as improved traffic management, road cleaning, dust suppression and water sprinkling to help control pollution in the area, it said.
Representatives of the concerned departments jointly assessed the issues and agreed to take necessary department-wise action in coordination with one another, according to the statement.
The district administration said the exercise aimed to improve traffic movement, passenger and pedestrian convenience and safety, public access, and air quality in the Anand Vihar area.
