There will be only one-way movement of vehicles on the Rajendra Prasad Road here to ease congestion and ensure smooth traffic flow, Delhi Traffic Police said on Wednesday.
According to an order issued by Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Shive Keshari Singh, the traffic movement on the road from Jaswant Singh roundabout towards the roundabout of Rajendra Prasad Road–Janpath Road will now be allowed in only one direction for all types of motor vehicles.
The order, issued under Regulation 21 of the Delhi Control of Vehicular and Other Traffic on Roads and Streets Regulations, 1980, has come into immediate effect and will remain in force until further notice.
“The decision was taken in view of heavy traffic flow causing obstruction and inconvenience to road users. The concerned road-owning agencies have been directed to install mandatory signboards to inform and guide motorists,” the DCP added.

Boating relaunch at Purana Qila draws huge crowds
Boating at Delhi’s 16th-century Purana Qila has made a comeback after nearly a decade, and the response has been overwhelming. The facility, revived by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) and managed by the Sabhyata Foundation of the Dalmia group, has already tripled footfall at the monument, officials said. “Due to the closure of the zoo, footfall increased. Every day, 2,500–3,000 people visit. Before the zoo closure, we would get around 800–1,200 or sometimes 1,500 on weekends. Now it touches 2,500 or around 3,000 on weekends,” said an ASI official.
Researchers, led by those at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi, have developed an AI tool that can predict performance of HVAC filters and help design smarter ones, essential for improving indoor air quality. The COVID-19 pandemic, which necessitated people to stay at home, brought to fore an urgent need to improve indoor air quality, especially through better air filtration in heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems, said the team including researchers from Sweden. The challenge is that filters trapping more harmful particles often block airflow, making systems less efficient and more energy hungry, they said.
