VK Shukla, New Delhi. A major decision has been taken to provide relief from the jam on Ring Road and Outer Ring Road due to buses going to northern states from Kashmiri Gate Interstate Bus Stand. In the advisory issued by the traffic police after joint inspection of the police and Delhi government, it has been made clear that the buses going from Kashmiri Gate bus stand to North India will no longer pass through the Ring Road and Outer Ring Road.
Expressway route will be used
According to the information received, these buses will reach Sonipat via Dehradun Expressway, Eastern Peripheral Expressway. This is expected to provide relief from the jam on Ring Road and Outer Ring Road. In the second phase, the Dehradun Expressway route will also be used for buses coming to Kashmiri Gate Bus Stand from North India.
Will change the route to go to North India
Let us tell you that under the existing route, buses from ISBT to North India go to North India via Ring Road, Outer Ring Road, NH-1, Sonipat and come to ISBT on the same route. Under the proposed route, to go from ISBT to North India, these buses will reach Ring Road via U-turn off flyover and reach Shastri Park via GT Road, from there will board the Dehradun Expressway and will board the Eastern Peripheral Expressway near Baghpat and through that expressway will reach NH-1 at Sonipat and from there will pass to North India. In North India, these buses will go to Haryana, Punjab, Jammu-Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh.
more than one and a half lakh passengers
Let us tell you that if we talk about traffic jam around Kashmiri Gate, the major reason is ISBT. The full name of ISBT Kashmiri Gate is Maharana Pratap Interstate Bus Stand, which was built in 1976. ISBT Kashmiri Gate is surrounded by three routes. It is the largest interstate bus terminal in Delhi and operates buses to many states including Haryana, Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand. More than 2,600 buses run from here every day and more than 1.5 lakh people travel there.
Traffic jam increases at many places
Deputy Commissioner of Police Traffic (Central Range) Nishant Gupta, in his letter sent on January 29 to the Transport Department and Public Works Department etc., has said that currently the buses going from ISBT towards North India get stuck in serious traffic jams on the Ring Road and Outer Ring Road, especially at GT Karnal Bypass, Wazirabad Flyover, Majnu Ka Tila, Chandgi Ram Akhara and other points.
obstruction to the movement of emergency vehicles
This results in increased pollution, wastage of resources and promotes respiratory diseases. There is obstruction in the movement of emergency vehicles. In the letter sent, the Deputy Commissioner of Police has said that physical inspection of the proposed route has been done and the suggestions of NGO Guru Hanuman Society of India have been found correct.
Will start the work of installing information boards etc.
A senior official of the transport department said that they have received the advisory from the traffic police and it will be implemented soon. Atul Ranjit Kumar, President of Guru Hanuman Society, who was involved in the meetings of the schemes trying to remove the jam on this route, says that due to reduction in the pressure of buses, the pressure of vehicles on the Ring Road will reduce significantly. A senior official of the Public Works Department has said that they will soon start the work of installing information boards etc. for the new routes of these buses.
