New Delhi: Delhi Lieutenant Governor Taranjit Singh Sandhu visited Basant Lok market in Vasant Vihar and spoke with shopkeepers, traders and shoppers. In an update on November 14, Sandhu said people raised concerns about traffic congestion, encroachments, organised parking and the upkeep of the market.
Sandhu said these concerns called for practical solutions and regular dialogue with the business community. He linked that engagement to the day-to-day work of keeping Delhi’s markets clean and managing them better.
The visit brings attention back to civic upkeep at a commercial centre the Delhi Development Authority has previously upgraded. DDA records identify Basant Lok as one of three commercial centres it selected for improvements, alongside Nehru Place and Bhikaji Cama Place. The authority subsequently reported that the Basant Lok upgrade was complete.
The LG’s update set out the issues raised during the visit. It did not give a timeline for changes to parking or announce any enforcement measures at the market.
