Delhi Traffic Police submitted a proposal to the New Delhi Municipal Council to connect New Delhi district to Dhaula Kuan flyover to ease traffic in Lutyens' Delhi and reduce travel time to Indira Gandhi International Airport.

Two options proposed:

1. Flyover or tunnel from Talkatora Stadium moving southwest toward Dhaula Kuan, bypassing at-grade intersections. Route runs through Kautilya Marg, Satya Marg, Niti Marg, Shanti Path, and Vinay Marg (areas with embassies, government offices, residential complexes). Uses grade separation with tunnel sections, elevated stretches, loops, and underpasses. Merges into National Highway 48 and Ring Road at Dhaula Kuan.

2. Flyover or tunnel from Dayal Chowk near Shankar Road and Vande Mataram Marg intersection, addressing traffic from Karol Bagh and adjacent areas. Route follows Vande Mataram Marg southward with grade-separated elements at key junctions including loops, underpasses, slip roads. Joins Sardar Patel Marg and connects to existing flyover and NH-48 interchange.

Intention is to ease traffic pressure on Sardar Patel Marg, identified as a traffic choke point during peak hours. Proposal submitted two weeks prior; NDMC deliberating on plan.

Delhi's revenue department proposes major administrative map overhaul creating nine new revenue districts. Existing 11 districts to be reorganized into 13 total. Current districts including North, North East, East, North West, South East and South West will be dissolved. Restructuring aims to align revenue districts with Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) zones, improving inter-departmental coordination and simplifying governance by reducing jurisdictional overlaps and creating more compact administrative units.

The Delhi government will redevelop and redesign the Pusa Road-Patel Road junction and its traffic islands under a beautification project for public spaces in Karol Bagh. The key gateway connects New Delhi with central Delhi via arterial roads including Pusa Road, Shankar Road, Patel Road and Dr KS Krishnan Marg.

Work covers four traffic islands and mini-parks, plus the Pusa roundabout, collectively called Ch Brahm Prakash Chowk, named after Delhi's first chief minister. The roundabout currently faces poor sanitation, damaged greenery, defacement and rat infestation.

Public Works Department will spend approximately ₹2 crore total: ₹1 crore on civil works, ₹15 lakh on horticultural work, ₹74 lakh on electrical works including decorative illumination and floodlights. The roundabout will be developed into a park with walking track, grass and ornamental plants, redesigned from scratch with new soil layer after removing existing fixtures.

Greening plan includes planting 4,450 Singapore daisies, lilies, Plumeria alba, Ficus retusa and white champa. Private gardeners will maintain green zones. Tenders have been called and project will complete in four months.

PWD manages 1,400 kilometres of arterial roads. New standard operating procedure requires minimum one gardener per 2,500 square metres of green area, with ₹50 per worker per day penalty for non-compliance with uniform requirements.

PWD is set to beautify the Pusa Road roundabout in Karol Bagh. Repairs to the 'I Love Delhi' sign are planned. Maintenance and enhancements are planned for nearby roads to ease congestion.
