These days the air quality index level (Delhi AQI Level) in Delhi-NCR remains above 450 points. While Delhi-NCR is infamous for pollution, Bengaluru city is infamous in the entire country and the world for its traffic problems. The common link of both these problems is the increasing traffic in the city and its lack of proper management. Therefore, now a plan has been prepared which will control traffic in a better way. This would be like killing two problems with one stone.
In fact, the ‘Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade’ (DPIIT), working under the Ministry of Commerce of the Central Government, has prepared a ‘Model City Logistic Plan for Delhi and Bengaluru’ for both the cities of Delhi and Bengaluru. Has been finalized. This plan will improve traffic control in cities, which is expected to reduce vehicular pollution.
How will the Model City Logistics Plan work?
A senior official of DPIIT said that this plan will improve logistics in both the cities. It will improve the management of trucks coming from outside to small trucks (small elephant) used for home delivery etc. Its second advantage is that the logistics cost for the people will be less.
