When Rajpath reopens for public next week after a 20-month gap, the visitors will get to see a revamped Central Vista Avenue, including new amenity blocks and dedicated vending zones that will replace the ice-cream carts and other street vendors that used to line the road.
According to Union Housing and Urban Affairs Ministry officials on Saturday, the new look of the 2-km Central Vista Avenue, which stretches from India Gate to Rashtrapati Bhavan, was likely to be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on September 8, after which it would be open to public the next day.
