In Capital soon Tram service to Start

Trams are all set to return to the Walled City.

First introduced in the Capital in 1908 under the British Raj, the trams stopped plying between the Red Fort and the Fatehpuri mosque in the 1960s due to rising congestion in the area.

The Delhi government gave the tram line its go-ahead on Tuesday. Deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia visited the Walled City early on Tuesday morning and announced that trams would connect areas such as Red Fort, Jama Masjid, Digamber Jain Mandir, Gurdwara Sheesh Ganj, Old Delhi Railway Station and the New Delhi Railway Station.

“The government has decided to carry out several development projects in the area under the Shahjahanabad Redevelopment Corporation (SRDC). To redevelop and take forward this cultural heritage is a challenge but the government has decided to take up this challenge,” said Sisodia.
Hindustan Times on Friday had reported that Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has submitted a detailed project report to Delhi government and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) would soon take a decision on it.

The DMRC has proposed a 4.3-km tram line in Chandni Chowk -- one of the busiest, most congested market places in Delhi. However, a 1.6-km section (in front of Old Delhi Railway Station) will be elevated due to lack of space. According to the Metro, the proposed tram line will run in a circular loop staring from the traffic light in front of the Red Fort and will stop at every 200 metres from where passengers can board or deboard.

The width of the three-coach train will be 2.4 metres and it will carry 200 passengers. It will run at a frequency of 5 minutes. 
“We want to revive the glory of Old Delhi and tram is an important part of it. Sisodiaji will visit the area again and the SRDC will approve the project within 10 days,” said Alka Lamba, MLA from Chandni Chowk, who is on the board of directors, SRDC.

The government has given enforcement and other powers to the SRDC on the lines of NDMC and Delhi Cantonment Board. “To implement its plans the SRDC will need proper mandate, so we will give it enforcement powers. No work has been done ever since the corporation was constituted. The officers posted with the SRDC got salaries but all they did was planning. Shahjahanabad has a high cultural and historical importance,” said Sisodia.

“We need to not only develop the basic amenities but also turn this into a model so that the people visiting it throughout the world come here and enjoy the cultural and historical legacy,” he said.

UTTIPEC planned to make free of Traffic Jams at Old Delhi Station

Old Delhi station getting a facelift, entry to be hassle-free in a year 

NEW DELHI: Delhiites will enjoy a congestion-free entrance to Delhi Junction, better known as Old Delhi railway station, in the near future. The Delhi division of Northern Railway has begun work on a planned revamp of the city's oldest railway station wherein it will be bestowed a look similar to that of New Delhi station.

A second entrance to the station towards Kashmere Gate has been built at a cost of Rs 90 crore and it is expected to share 30 per cent of the footfall. It will be thrown open to the public soon.

Officials say the aim of the project is to eliminate the bottlenecks at the entrance and exit gates of the station which result in huge traffic jams. Hundreds of vendors who have encroached upon the area adjacent to the boundary wall of the station will also be asked to leave.

The plan for the makeover has been approved and finalized by UTTIPEC (Unified Traffic and Transport Infrastructure Planning and Engineering Centre) and it will be implemented over one year. "One year on, Old Delhi station will look just like New Delhi railway station.The area will be free of traffic jams. We have received several complaints regarding issues faced by commuters. A complete revamp of the area in front of the station has been initiated. All work like shifting of structures and removal of boundary wall would be executed within six months," said Arun Arora, divisional railway manager.

The cost of the project is Rs 16 crore. "The portion which is on railway land is being handled by the rail ways at Rs 4.86 crore. The remaining work of laning, development of bus shelters and other stuff on SP Mookerjee Road is being executed by the public works department and other Delhi government agencies. We are actively coordinating with PWD and UTTIPEC."

About 300 trains pass through the station every day and it records a gigantic footfall of over 3.5 lakhs. 

According to the UTTIPEC plan, the existing boundary wall between the station and SP Mookerjee Road would be demolished and the area encroached up on by street vendors will be cleared. Dedicated lanes for cars, three-wheelers and taxis and non-motorized transport will be constructed. The parking area of the station will also be renovated to increase its capacity by 200 vehicles 

"The most important feature of this plan is seamless integration of lanes in the circulating area. Alighting bays will be provided for passengers. We are also opening a second entrance towards Kashmiri Gate which is expected to share 30 per cent of the existing footfall at this heritage station," Arora said.
