Then Vs Now: How The Central Vista Construction Has Changed The Face Of Delhi’s Iconic Rajpath

Whether you belong to Delhi or not, one place that always attracts you here is Lutyens Delhi. The lush green lawns, National War Memorial, Rajpath flanked by trees on either side, secretariat buildings and the emotions and memories people attach to the area make it one-of-a-kind.

As pictures from the ongoing construction work for the government’s ambitious Central Vista Project emerge on the internet, here’s a comparison of how it looked then vs now.
