Delhi LG reviews traffic infrastructure, stresses on building modern, transparent and seamless transport system
New Delhi, May 13
Delhi Lieutenant Governor, Sardar Taranjit Singh Sandhu, on Wednesday held a crucial meeting with Delhi traffic police officials, reviewing the proposals and infrastructure interventions.
In an X post, Sandhu emphasised the need for a "modern, transparent, and seamless" transit system in the national capital. Highlighting the alignment of these projects with national priorities such as PM Gati Shakti, the Lieutenant Governor stated that the focus remains on developing world-class infrastructure to improve the city's mobility.
"Reviewed the proposals and infrastructure interventions of @dtptraffic today. In line with the national priority for world-class infrastructure and Gati Shakti, our focus remains on building a modern, transparent, and seamless transport & transit system for the city," LG wrote on X.
Sandhu said Delhi Traffic Police has identified 62 major congestion points and initiated over 160 infrastructure interventions, aiming to make the city's roads safer and more efficient.
Highlighting the integration of technology in governance, it was noted that the force is leveraging AI-driven technology through the Intelligent Traffic Management System (ITMS) and incorporating citizen feedback via 'Project SANGAM.'
"Delhi Traffic Police has identified 62 major congestion points and initiated over 160 infrastructure interventions. By leveraging AI-driven technology through ITMS and integrating citizen feedback via Project SANGAM, the force is working towards making Delhi's roads safer and more efficient. Emphasised the urgent need to address wrong-side driving, unauthorized parking, and illegal entry of heavy vehicles in mission mode through a comprehensive IEC and enforcement drive," LG added in X post.
Sandhu reiterated that these efforts in technology, enforcement, and multi-agency coordination are pivotal to building a 'Viksit Dilli' (Developed Delhi) that is safe, efficient, and trusted by all, aligning with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision for a '#ViksitBharat.'
"These efforts in technology, enforcement, and multi-agency coordination are central to building a ViksitDilli that is safe, efficient, and trusted by all, in line with the vision of Hon'ble PM Shri@narendramodi Ji for a #ViksitBharat.," he added.

Good to see LG Sandhu taking traffic seriously. But wrong-side driving and unauthorized parking are daily nightmares here. Project SANGAM for citizen feedback is a nice step, but will the common man's voice actually be heard? 🤔
As someone who drives daily in Delhi, I appreciate the vision. But "modern, transparent, seamless" sounds like a checklist. What about the potholes and incomplete flyovers that cause delays? Infrastructure needs maintenance too, not just new projects.
Linking traffic management with PM Gati Shakti is smart—better mobility means faster economic growth. But enforcement against wrong-side driving and heavy vehicles needs to be 24/7, not just a "mission mode" drive for a few weeks. Hope they sustain it. 👏
Chaar cheez sahi karo: illegal parking, wrong side driving, footpath encroachment, and traffic light synchronization. Baki sab automatic ho jayega. AI and ITMS are fine but ground level action matters more. Delhi walon ko bas chalein ka raasta chahiye! 🙏
As a regular commuter, I'm cautiously optimistic. The mention of "Project SANGAM" for citizen feedback is refreshing. But LG and Traffic Police need to coordinate with MCD and PWD too—one department can't fix everything alone. Accountability matters!
