New Delhi, April 4 A week-long enforcement drive at the busy IIT intersection in south Delhi resulted in the issuance of 746 traffic tickets, including 329 for improper parking, as authorities moved to alleviate chronic congestion at the major junction, the Delhi Traffic Police said on Saturday.
The intersection, where the Outer Ring Road meets Aurobindo Marg, faces daily bottlenecks due to CNG queues, roadside parking near commercial establishments, and peak-hour school traffic, they said.
"During the drive, 746 tickets were issued, including 329 for improper parking, to improve compliance and ensure smoother traffic flow," a senior traffic police officer said.
The drive, led by the traffic police along with the Delhi Transport Corporation and local stakeholders, focused on clearing encroachments, enforcing lane discipline, and regulating vehicle movement at key pressure points.
Authorities also deployed personnel at all four arms of the intersection to prevent roadside parking, regulate queues at the CNG station, and direct establishments and the nearby school to manage entry and exit more efficiently.
"A joint deployment has been put in place to regulate traffic and facilitate pedestrian movement at the junction," the officer added.
Authorities have also sought the relocation of a government liquor shop due to roadside congestion, while continuing enforcement and public awareness efforts in the area, the traffic police said.
