Chandigarh District Commissioner Chairs Crucial Road Safety Committee Meeting
In a significant move to bolster urban safety and traffic efficiency, District Commissioner Nishant Kumar Yadav presided over a meeting of the Chandigarh district road safety committee on Thursday. The session was convened to conduct a thorough review of all ongoing road safety initiatives and traffic management operations across the city.
Immediate Action on Pedestrian Safety Measures
DC Yadav issued clear directives to relevant departments to accelerate the installation of protective grilles along the central verge of the Sector 29/30 dividing road. This critical intervention aims to eliminate unsafe pedestrian crossings that have posed significant risks, thereby substantially improving overall road safety for all commuters. Officials were instructed to prioritize and complete this work at the earliest possible opportunity.
Focus on Non-Motorized Transport and Congestion Relief
The meeting also involved an extensive review of projects specifically designed to promote non-motorized transport options and alleviate chronic traffic congestion. A firm deadline of March 31 was established for the final completion of the cycle track on Purav Marg. DC Yadav emphasized that the timely execution of such cycle tracks is vital for reducing conflicts among diverse road users and actively encouraging the adoption of eco-friendly transportation modes.
Coordinated Efforts for Infrastructure Development
Further discussions centered on the planned widening of the service lane connecting Hallomajra and the Zirakpur light point. The District Commissioner underscored the necessity for seamless, coordinated efforts among all involved agencies to ensure time-bound progress on this infrastructure enhancement. The comprehensive approach outlined in the meeting reflects a committed strategy to create a safer, more efficient, and sustainable transportation network for Chandigarh's residents.
