Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate `Kartavya Path` at India Gate at 7 pm on Thursday. According to a statement by the Prime Minister`s Office, the move symbolises a shift from erstwhile Rajpath being an icon of power to Kartavya Path being an example of public ownership and empowerment.
"These steps are in line with Prime Minister`s second Panch Pran for New India in Amrit Kaal: remove any trace of the colonial mindset," the statement said. Over the years, Rajpath and adjoining areas of Central Vista Avenue had been witnessing pressure of increasing traffic of visitors, putting stress on its infrastructure. The PMO said that 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.
