The government is planning to make Connaught Place a paradise for pedestrian by making it a vehicle free zone for two months starting February. The move is aimed at decongesting the area.

"It was decided that pedestrianisation of Connaught Place on a pilot basis would be implemented for three months from February this year for ground level testing of issues related to changes in traffic circulation, experience of pedestrians and shop owners, management of reclaimed parking lots, traffic load on outer circle etc," an official release said. 

The middle and inner circular roads of CP will be made vehicle free by providing effective 'park and ride' services from major parking areas at Shivaji Stadium, Baba Kharak Singh Marg and Palika parking, the release added.
