NDMC to Resume Maintenance of Central Vista Roads, CPWD Retains 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 dated August 7 formalized this change. The CPWD will continue maintaining Kartavya Path. This shift aims to localize civic management in Lutyens' Delhi, integrating these roads into NDMC's existing network and responsibilities.
