As Prime Minister Narendra Modi is all set to inaugurate ‘Central Vista’ in the National Capital today, the ceremony will witness huge participation, particularly by children who would enjoy and witness the grand event.
Besides, the PM will also unveil the statue of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose at India Gate on occasion. These steps align with PM’s second ‘Panch Pran’ for New India in Amrit Kaal: ‘remove any trace of colonial mindset’.
Over the years, Rajpath and adjoining areas of Central Vista Avenue have been witnessing pressure of increasing traffic of visitors, putting stress on its infrastructure. It lacked basic amenities like public toilets, drinking water, street furniture, and adequate parking space.
To ensure smooth traffic movement, DelhiTrafficPolice has made special arrangements for the convenience of the public and general traffic has been diverted from the following roads from 6 PM to 9 PM.
