Night tourism at revamped Chandni Chowk on the cards

Kejriwal inaugurates redeveloped and beautified stretch, says plan is being worked out to allow street food stalls to stay open till midnight

With the Delhi government’s latest plan, the revamped Chandni Chowk will not only attract tourists during the day but also lure in tourists after sunset. It is planning to allow street food stalls to stay open till 12 a.m. so the “visitors can enjoy the famous market to the fullest”, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said on Sunday. He inaugurated the revamped market on Sunday following redevelopment and beautification work done by the government over the past three years. “Chandni Chowk is famous across the world but when tourists would find broken roads, traffic jams and hanging electric wires, which leaves an overall dirty image. Now, after the redevelopment works, people of Delhi are proud of the 1.4 km stretch from Red Fort to Fatehpuri Mosque,” Mr. Kejriwal said.
