India, Oct. 7 -- The Jaswant Singh or Panchmukhi Chowk roundabout, where five busy roads including Ashoka Road and Rajendra Prasad Road converge, faces routine gridlocks every morning and evening. The survey attributed the congestion to its narrow 20-metre diameter, ongoing Central Vista construction, and its proximity to India Gate and Kartavya Path, both major public attractions.
"There is a need to increase the diameter by at least 10 metres to allow smoother merging and reduce pile-ups," said the second officer.
