Union Minister Renames Central Vista as 'Kartavya Bhawan Area' Amid Redevelopment
Union Minister Manohar Lal announced that the Central Vista area in New Delhi, spanning from Rashtrapati Bhawan to India Gate, will now be called the 'Kartavya Bhawan Area,' reflecting the new secretariat buildings constructed as part of the redevelopment plan. Three of the proposed ten buildings have been completed and named Kartavya Bhawan 1, 2, and 3. The renaming follows the earlier change of Rajpath to Kartavya Path, aiming to emphasize citizens' duties and move away from colonial-era names. The minister also highlighted a new transfer policy in the Central Public Works Department.
