Need for Revamping Rajpath?

Over the years, Rajpath and adjoining areas of the central vista avenue had been witnessing pressure of increasing traffic of visitors, putting stress on its infrastructure.

Central Vista Avenue is part of the government’s ambitious Central Vista redevelopment project.
It lacked basic amenities like public toilets, drinking water, street furniture and adequate parking space.

Further, there was inadequate signage, poor maintenance of water features and haphazard parking.
Also, a need was felt to organise the Republic Day parade and other National events in a less disruptive manner with minimal restrictions on public movement.

The redevelopment has been done bearing these concerns in mind while also ensuring the integrity and continuity of architectural character.
