No photography at Central Vista during revamp

NEW DELHI: The construction arm of the government Central Public Works Department has installed boards prohibiting photography or video recording and restricted the entry of public at the construction site for the Central Vista, which includes most of the Rajpath stretch.

Last week, citizens and activists shared pictures on social media of the dug-up Rajpath stretch lamenting the imminent loss of the heritage jamun trees, some around 100 years old.

The boards came up over the weekend. A CPWD spokesperson, responding to a query on why the boards were installed, said his organisation “will not comment on the matter”.
