Central Vista Avenue, which has been closed to the public since February 2021 for redevelopment work, is set to open in the next few days, Union Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Hardeep Puri said on Monday.
Mr. Puri, speaking at the launch of the National Initiative for Promoting Upskilling of Nirman workers (NIPUN) to train one lakh construction workers, said: “In spite of heavy rains and all impediments, Central Vista Avenue will be opened in the next few days.”
The area, which is popular with Delhiites and visitors alike, was briefly unveiled for the Republic Day parade but was barricaded again after January 26 as portions of the redevelopment project were yet to be completed. The project was to have been completed in November 2021.
