THE heart of the capital, Lutyens' Delhi, is home to prominent government buildings, embassies, high-profile politicians, and diplomats.

However, it also grapples with issues such as traffic congestion, lack of parking spaces, and exorbitant property taxes. NDMC Vice-Chairman Kuljeet Chahal talks to City Team and discusses how the council plans to address these challenges.

Prabhat Shukla: Traffic congestion has become a major issue in Lutyen's Delhi. What do you think is the reason for this and what is being done to address it? This is a problem that affects all of Delhi. The city's population is increasing, which is putting pressure on the traffic infrastructure. Unfortunately, the Delhi government has not taken major steps to resolve this. In the NDMC area, we've held several meetings with the Police and Traffic Police and we've approached the NHAI as well. We are working on some major changes and while a decision is pending, we hope to make progress soon.
