Then and Now: Central Vista Avenue

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will Thursday evening inaugurate the newly-christened Kartavya Path -- a stretch from Rashtrapati Bhavan to India Gate that will have red granite walkways with greenery all around, refurbished canals, state-wise food stalls, new amenity blocks and vending kiosks.

The entire stretch has been revamped under the Modi government's ambitious Central Vista redevelopment project.

Here are the comparative before-and-after images of the renovated Central Vista Avenue.
