Delhi Police identifies 56 sites for box parking
The Delhi Police has found 56 places to create special parking spots called box parking.
These spots will help cars park in an orderly way and make traffic move more smoothly.
The idea is to stop traffic jams and make it easier for ambulances and fire trucks to get through.
The parking spots can hold almost 3,000 cars in busy areas like Chandni Chowk and Kamla Nagar Market.
The Delhi Lieutenant Governor asked the police to do this because many people complained about bad traffic.
The police have already marked 50 of these spots.
This will help use space better, keep roads safer, and reduce pollution from cars.
