Many pedestrians face an uphill battle every day as they pass busy intersections. Temporary infrastructure enhancements will help make this big intersection (Delhi Gate Junction) better, making it more #walkable and #liveable.

Quote Tweet

Busy intersections are often prone to accidents and #DelhiGate, in the national capital, is particularly a high-risk location. WRI India & @dtptraffic, with support from @Raahgiri_Fdn, recently transformed this area by compacting the conflict area & reducing it by almost 70%.
