Absolutely valuable and welcome change. But keen to know what was NITI Aayog's contribution in this.
yes true, well planned and well designed
I agree!
This is a fantastic example of creating a more pedestrian-friendly and livable city! The Pondy Bazaar pedestrian plaza project in Chennai demonstrates the positive impact that prioritizing people over vehicles can have on a community. Increased pedestrian activity can lead to several benefits, including: Boosted economic activity for local businesses as foot traffic increases. Improved public health as people become more active by walking and cycling. Enhanced public safety with fewer cars on the road. A more vibrant and enjoyable atmosphere for residents and visitors.
