Abstract
A general problem faced by many Indian cities is the criss-crossing of major roads through the centre of the city. The present study focuses on one such city in Punjab, Sultanpur Lodhi. Sultanpur Lodhi is a religious centre in Punjab of Sikhs attracting large number of tourists throughout the year. Due to the location of Gurudwaras in congested city and crossing of major road connecting Firozpur to Jallandhar through the city, the traffic becomes a huge problem. During festive seasons, the traffic diverts to the internal roads causing chaotic conditions. The present study focuses on the master plan development of the area with special regard to the proposed ring road to ease the traffic volumes. Geospatial technology using high-resolution satellite data has been used to prepare the master plan of Sultanpur Lodhi, which includes a 12 km long proposed ring road with a right of way of 150 feet.
