Government of India has decided to rename New Delhi’s historic Rajpath and Central Vista lawns as ‘Kartavya Path’. According reports, the stretch of road between Netaji Statue and the Rashtrapati Bhavan will be named as Kartavya Path.
The Central Vista Avenue has been revamped with dedicated vending zones where food from 16 states will be available. There will also be new blocks for public amenities and parking zones for more than 1000 cars.
The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) will be meeting on the 7th Sept – Wednesday to consider the proposal for renaming Rajpath Kartavya Path. NDMC Vice Chairperson and BJP leader Satish Upadhyay speaking to reporters confirmed that “We are convening a special meeting on September 7 to discuss and rename the Central Vista and Rajpath stretch as Kartavya Path. The proposal is yet to come but the meeting has been called. All members and officials concerned will participate in the meeting.” Sources have confirmed that the 2-km stretch of road spanning from Raisena Hills to India Gate will be renamed by the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) as Kartavya (duty) Path.
During his address from the ramparts of Red Fort on August 15, PM Modi had stressed on the abolition of symbols relating to colonial mindset. In line with it, the Navy changed its ensign last week, during the launch of the country’s first homemade aircraft carrier INS Vikrant.
This is the first phase that has been completed under the ambitious redevelopment plan of the Central Vista, which will be the nation’s power corridor. Considered the most popular public space in the city, the stretch has been redeveloped with red granite walkways spread around 1.1 lakh square metre with greenery all around.
The entire project envisages a new triangular Parliament building, a common central secretariat, a new prime minister’s residence and office, and a new vice-president’s enclave.
