- NDMC chairperson Manoj Kumar Dwivedi has invited public feedback on a proposal to make Connaught Place's Inner Circle vehicle-free, asking whether restrictions should apply all day, on fixed hours, or on weekends.
- The idea has drawn mixed reactions online, with some supporting timed restrictions and others warning of traffic problems during peak hours.
- Traders, represented by the New Delhi Traders Association, oppose the move, saying it would hurt sales, reduce accessibility, and push congestion onto the Outer Circle.
- Previous pedestrianisation attempts in 2017 and 2019 failed amid trader resistance, and in April this year the LG sought an action plan for such projects in CP and Khan Market.
