NDMC Resumes Maintenance of Central Vista Roads, Excluding Kartavya Path
The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) will resume maintenance of major roads in the Central Vista area, including Janpath, Rafi Marg, and Man Singh Road, taking over from the Central Public Works Department (CPWD) after nearly two decades. An order from the Union Housing and Urban Affairs Ministry on August 7 formalized this change, excluding Kartavya Path, which CPWD will continue to maintain. This shift aims to localize civic management in Lutyens' Delhi, integrating road upkeep with NDMC's existing municipal services.
