The dramatic projected rise in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from Asian [and wider] cities poses a major challenge for the world.

A mechanical snag in a vehicle on much-criticised corridor has caused a major traffic jam near Panchsheel Enclave on Ambedkar Nagar-Moolchand corridor this morning. There was no arrangement of cranes to remove the vehicle from the car track. It was 10.20 am when the Tata Sumo stopped on the track due to some snag. The driver tried to restart the vehicle but he could not. Finally the occupants of the Sumo pushed the vehicle on the cycle track. By the time it was removed from the track, there was jam from Panchsheel to Moolchand flyover.

Transport Commissioner R. K. Verma said: "The traffic flow on Sunday was smooth and improving.

Another official added: "None of the signal timings proposed has worked out well, so we have to keep seeing alternatives.'
