All light points in Mohali to turn into roundabouts by next year

DC Amit Talwar said that the traffic on the roads of Mohali city had been increasing day by day and the number of accidents had seen a jump. Under a multifaceted plan by the Punjab government to solve the traffic problem, Talwar added, all the light points in the city of Mohali were being turned into roundabouts.

He said that GMADA was preparing a proposal in this regard with the help of a traffic advisor of Punjab government and technical advisor of GMADA. He said that the government was planning to construct these roundabouts by the end of March next year.

The DC said that in order to tackle the increase of traffic volume on the Airport Road (PR 7), the traffic advisor of the Punjab government will conduct a survey and submit appropriate recommendations soon.

Talwar also instructed the civic body officials present in the meeting to synchronize the lights on the stretch to the airport, so that traffic going to the airport does not have to stop for a long time at any of the light point.

Recently, the Punjab Housing and Urban Development Minister, Aman Arora, on the demand of Mohali MLA Kulwant Singh, held a meeting at the office of GMADA to improve the city’s infrastructure, roads, traffic and other civic facilities.
