Soon, vintage golf carts to ferry visitors in Chandni Chowk
New Delhi: A long-awaited plan for vintage electric golf carts to ferry visitors in Delhi’s busy Chandni Chowk market is likely to kick off soon, in a move to decongest the area and lend it an aesthetic look, officials said. During his visit to Chandni Chowk last week, Delhi Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena fumed at the poor condition of pedestrianised thoroughfare of the market in the old city. He had directed the PWD officials for deep cleaning and repair of roads, footpaths and bolards. The step to introduce electric golf carts on the main road in Chandni Chowk has been taken following an instruction from the L-G, an official said.
