Gurgaon identifies Tuesdays as Car Free Day – any car on the road would be towed away

World Car Free day is observed on September 22 and, on this occasion, the Gurgaon traffic police has decided to observe every Tuesday as 'Car-Free Day' – this will help to rid the city roads from congestion and also encourage people to use alternate modes of transportation.
This has been reported in ibnlive.com dated 15 September 2015.

The initiative has been organized by Gurgaon Traffic Police and Gurgaon Municipal Corporation with support from NASSCOM, Embarq India, Raahgiri Foundation and Rapid Metro. As Joint Commissioner of Police Bharti Arora has revealed, with one lakh new cars being registered every year in Gurgaon, it was high time to take up the 'Car Free' challenge.
Under this initiative, the whole of Gurgaon will ensure car free from 7 am to 7 pm every Tuesday. Four major IT corridors have been identified to make the campaign more concentrated – these are DLF Cyber City, Cyber Park area, Golf Course Road and Electronic City because these have the heaviest traffic flow in the city.
On Tuesdays, Rapid Metro will increase the frequency of trains to 3-3.5 mins which would mean 225 trains and reduced waiting time for users. Moreover, there would be feeder buses provided from major metro stations like Huda City Centre, Sikanderpur, Indus Bank Cyber City and from Kapashera border to the major IT hubs of the city.
Offenders would be lifted away to Leisure Valley Park and the Gurgaon Police have sourced 20 cranes from MCG and DLF to undertake the towing – any car on the road in the period would be towed away.
