Delhi Police has formally requested a redesign of the Barapullah Phase‑III flyover, citing worsening traffic congestion following the recent construction of the new flyover. The police department highlighted that commuters are experiencing longer travel times and increased bottlenecks in the area.
The request comes after multiple complaints from local residents and transport operators who noted that the flyover’s current layout does not accommodate the high volume of vehicles during peak hours. Officials have urged the Delhi Development Authority to reassess the design and explore alternative traffic management solutions.
In a statement, the police emphasized the need for a swift resolution to prevent further deterioration of road safety and to ensure smoother flow for public transport and private vehicles alike. The Delhi government is expected to review the proposal in the coming weeks.
