# Delhi Traffic Police forms committee to ease Chhattarpur congestion 2026-08-21T21:15:58+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Delhi Traffic Police has formed a committee of auto and e-rickshaw drivers to tackle congestion around Chhattarpur Metro station in Mehrauli. The stretch near CDR Chowk and Mandir Wali Road has been choked due to heavy pedestrian movement, constant streams of autos, e-rickshaws and Gramin Seva vehicles, especially during peak hours. Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic), Southern Range, recently inspected the area and spoke with drivers of public transport vehicles. Officials found that haphazard stopping and parking of autos and e-rickshaws was a major cause of the traffic jam. The new committee will coordinate with drivers to ensure vehicles park in a single line without blocking the carriageway or pedestrian movement. The Traffic Inspector of Mehrauli and local personnel have been directed to monitor the stretch and take strict enforcement action against those violating parking and traffic norms. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Chhattarpur is a major transit point for commuters from south Delhi and nearby areas heading towards Gurugram and Faridabad. The metro station sees high footfall, and the narrow roads around it were never designed for the volume of three-wheelers and Gramin Seva vehicles that cluster there. Traffic police forming a driver committee is an experiment in peer enforcement, similar initiatives at other congested metro nodes like Dwarka Sector 21 and Nehru Place have had mixed results. The real test will be whether drivers adhere to the single-line parking rule during the 8-10 am and 5-8 pm peak windows. Watch for enforcement data in the next two weeks. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Straight news agency-style report on traffic police action, no political or ideological slant.
