There has been some streamlining of traffic and some order restored at Badarpur border after MCD opened its first toll plaza at Badarpur border to turn back non-Delhi destined commercial vehicles. Well, it has been made in a neat and clean manner and it seems that day-to-day work will now go in an orderly passion, but only problem here is that once you cross the toll plaza to merge with the normal traffic, a huge bottleneck gets created. The other day I was coming from Agra, we got stuck at that point. The problem of buses choking the Badarpur border entry has been sorted out long time back. But with this new problem, traffic jams are here to stay during peak hours. I think something should be done to improve the conditions there so that the bottleneck doesn’t get created over there.

Apart from Badarpur Border, MCD plans to build such toll plazas at other Delhi borders also. These borders are Singhu border, New Mandoli Border, Apsara Border, Gazipur Border, Kalindi Kunj border, Aya Nagar Border, Tikri Border, Kapashera Border and Rajokri Border.

Officials are hoping that with the construction of such toll plazas it will be possible to effectively restrain the entry of non-Delhi destined goods commercial vehicles in compliance of the instructions of the Supreme Court.

The only point here I want to say is that such toll plazas just restore order and beautifies the otherwise dull landscape of the border. However, the point here I want to make is proper implementation of SC order. If the authorities implement it properly, then even now they can stop the illegal entry of such trucks in Delhi.
