Non-motorised

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has banned travelling of two-wheelers, autos, tractors, non-motorised vehicles, multi-axle hydraulic trailer vehicles, and quadri cycles on the Bengaluru-Mysuru expressway from August 1 onwards.

The national capital of Delhi has been awarded for having the best non-motorised transport system in the form of a 1.4-km long corridor for motor-free traffic in the congested Chandni Chowk in the Walled City area.

The busy Chandni Chowk Road, which is currently under redevelopment, has been notified as a non-motorised zone, with motorised vehicles only being allowed during emergency.

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday said the main area under the Chandni Chowk redevelopment project is expected to open by the first week of November, and it will operate as a non-motorised vehicle street from 9 am to 9 pm.

This is not one of the fashionable social media detox breaks for Tomy, the only Indian to circumnavigate the world solo in a non-motorised boat without a stop.

"Life is becoming hell" in cities due to private vehicles, Urban Development Minister Venkaiah Naidu said today, adding every city should shift focus to non-motorised modes of transport such as cycling.

Surat has been adjudged as the best in Integrated Mass Transit, while Dharwad-Hubli (Karnataka) has the best city bus service, the Union Urban Development Ministry on Thursday said as it announced the names of cities for their commendable initiatives towards promotion of public transport, non-motorised transport and road safety.

Cycle rickshaw pullers and street vendors, who have been barred from plying on metalled roads in the national capital, have moved the National Green Tribunal (NGT) challenging the ban imposed on them, saying any restriction on non-motorised modes will defeat the idea of reducing air pollution.
