MakaanIQ takes you on a tour of the Delhi's hottest shopping destination, which is also one of the capital's oldest colonies.

The national capital will try its hand at a major experiment to overcome ever-increasing road traffic. Delhi LG Anil Baijal has proposed three measures that would be implemented soon along the congested stretches for controlling vehicle population in the city.

The National Capital Region Transport Corporation is planning to link the Delhi Metro with high-speed railway network that will bring down the travel time between the national capital and the cities that fall under the NCR. The project, which is estimated to cost Rs 1 lakh crore, is expected to cater to over 20 lakh commuters daily. The completion deadline for the project is yet to be finalised.

The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has pegged its Budget Expenditure for the financial year 2018-19 at over Rs 8,000 crore. To turn the national capital into a "world-class city" through various projects, the DDA would spend Rs 3,633 crore on building houses and shops, Rs 765 crore on land acquisition, Rs 2,348 crore on land development and Rs 1,286 crore on establishment.

To combat pollution in Delhi, the Environment Pollution Control Authority had called for the shut down of polluting industries. The ban has now been lifted owing to “some visible improvement”, said the EPCA. Only those brick kilns that adopt the zigzag kiln technology would be allowed to operate starting April. Despite all the measures, pollution levels remain very high in areas such as Mandir Marg, Punjabi Bagh, R K Puram and Anand Vihar.
