Khan Road and Arya Samaj Road are not congested and parking is not resorted to. The submissions of the parties show that the municipal corporation has granted parking contracts to private parties. Apparently, this has led to chaotic traffic congestions inasmuch as in certain stretches, three rows of parking have been permitted. This situation is untenable as it not only impedes smooth flow of traffic and defeats the purpose of a public road, but also poses a hazard in the event of an emergency where ambulances and fire tenders cannot freely move on the road. The Delhi Traffic Police shall make available suitable alternatives to police the area to ensure that there is smooth flow of traffic. List on 13.03.2018. Order dasti. C.M. APPL.2148/2018 North Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC) shall file its response before the next date of hearing; dasti in addition to learned counsel for NDMC. C.M. APPL.2149/2018 Allowed, subject to just exceptions.
