New Delhi, Oct. 7 -- The inner circle of Connaught Place could be the starting point for a clean-air or low emission zone (LEZ), with vehicles being kept out of the area and the space be redesigned to encourage walking and public movement, Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) member secretary Tarun Kumar Pithode said on Tuesday.

Pithode said a proposal for Connaught Place to be created into a clean air zone has been suggested to the Delhi government and could eventually be expanded into a larger low-emission zone in the Capital - if implemented well.

He, however, stressed the move would require ample preparation, seamless access to multi-level parking facilities and adequate safety and security arrangements.
