Central Vista to be unveiled by PM Modi

12 Sep 2022 CW Team

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will open the new look of Delhi’s Central Vista in a special event. The grand redevelopment of the power corridor of India that now has a new Parliament building, a common central secretariat, and a revamped three-km-long iconic Kartavya Path from the Rashtrapati Bhavan to the India Gate began in December 2020. However, the revamp journey has been full of ups and downs. From Supreme Court halt orders to resistance from the Opposition, the project has seen it all.

The Centre announced the decision to rename the Rajpath and Central Vista lawns as Kartavya Path. The route runs from Rashtrapati Bhavan on Raisina Hill through Vijay Chowk and India Gate to National Stadium in Delhi. The decision was announced with the objective of shedding remnants of the British colony in the country.

The construction of the prime minister's residence under the ambitious Central Vista project will be completed by December 2022. The Central Public Works Department (CPWD) informed a government-appointed expert panel, which gave its nod to the project. The CPWD, which is the project developer, informed the Expert Appraisal Committee (EAC) that the expansion of the Parliament building and the construction of a new Parliament building will be done by November 2022 and the prime minister's residence will be constructed by December 2022.
