Aurangabad, Jan 20:The Aurangabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) has recently held a meeting with city traffic police, merchants and residents of various commercial areas to declare Cannaught Place and Paithan Gate to Gulmandi Road and as No Vehicle Zones in the city. The above places are commercial markets, therefore, they witness a huge crowd of visitors during the peak hours daily.There is a huge rush of visitors at the shops in Cannaught Place area market from 6 pm to 10 pm. Both the sides of the road are encroached by the hawkers and the parking of vehicles of the customers. As a result, it becomes difficult for pedestrians to walk on foot. Considering this inconvenience, the AMC is planning to refrain vehicle parking on the roads in the vicinity. The traffic police officials stressed on the need of implementing traffic rules to get rid of frequent vehicle congestion in the area. The shopkeepers should also park their vehicles in the parking area of their buildings.The residents of Cannaught Place area opposed to it, but considering the public interest, they agreed to allow shopkeepers to park their vehicles in their buildings parking areas, said the sources.The discussion on declaring No Vehicle Zone to commercial areas, falling on the road from Paithan Gate to Gulmandi was also held at length.
