Central Vista Avenue: The revamped area will have food stalls, parking lots and round-the-clock security.
The revamped Central Vista avenue is set to be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi this week. The inauguration is expected to take place on Thursday. The Central Vista stretches from Vijay Chowk to India Gate. The Delhi State Environment Impact Assessment Authority recently granted environmental clearance to the proposal for the construction of the 'Executive Enclave' which will house the new Prime Minister's Office and Cabinet Secretariat. The revamped avenue is the first project that has been completed under Narendra Modi government's ambitious Central Vista redevelopment plan.
Fresh photos of the redeveloped stretch have been posted by news agency ANI on Twitter and show red-granite walkways, lawns and dedicated vending zones.
The red granite walkways cover an area of around 1.1 lakh square metre with greenery all around. Further, there more than 133 light poles, 4,087 trees, 114 modern signages and stepped gardens.
