The survey will also involve officials from government agencies such as the Public Works Department (PWD) and the Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC), two officers aware of the plan said.

The decision comes amid persistent complaints regarding traffic congestion on social media platforms and helpline numbers, one of the officers cited above said.

The maximum complaints were related to long traffic snarls during morning and evening peak hours between Munirka and IIT flyover, near Khel Gaon and Chirag Delhi, Savitri Flyover, and in Nehru Place near Kalkaji.
