Walled In By Woes, Residents Ask For More Than Just Plans

New Delhi: The place is steeped in history, but lack of infrastructure, congested lanes, poor sanitation and illegal structures have let Chandni Chowk down. The assembly constituency of Chandni Chowk comprises three wards — Chandni Chowk, Jama Masjid and Civil Lines. All of them have a significant chunk of trading communities.

While the corporation has been working on a mega parking project to cater to the needs of Chandni Chowk and Jama Masjid, autos, cycles and cars kept randomly on roadsides is a common sight. Locals TOI spoke to said the roads are so cramped “that not even two autorickshaws can pass each other”.
