The road that leads to India Gate via Purana Qila Road is fully parked with cars on both the sides. Not only parked, but its footpath is conveniently made to smoothen up so that cars and even Delhi Traffic Police's PCR cans are undauntedly parked. The parking, mostly of the learned lawyers and general public is an eyesore to the elegant environs of the Lutyne's Delhi, apart from being a traffic hazard, with hundreds of people thronging it at any given time.
If we can make a metro run though, a GMR airport decorate the Indian maps, a commonwealth infra-structure besides all corruption, unwillingness and unvisionary sight-------we surely can make an alternative parking to avoid traffic hazard, free flow of traffic, unnecessarily deluge of car-owners to cross the roads, apart from maintaining the aesthetic nature of the place.
I am really amused that no activist lawyer nor any NGO who don't miss hitting the news headlines to gain attention ever thought of this which in itself is a serious violation - right under their nose.
Apart from this, scores of people crossing the huge width of road from the central circle of India Gate to the other side is again a dangerous sight. While driving smoothly and at a constant speed in the midst of hundreds of other vehicles, sudden appearance of a hordes of people in the centre of the road waiving their hands towards vehicular traffic to stop and let them cross the big stretch of that wide road can cause sudden application of brakes resulting in either skidding or ramming into the jay-walkers----------a situation which at the first place can be easily avoided.
