Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will inaugurate the main area under the Chandni Chowk redevelopment project on April 17. The Chandni Chowk redevelopment, an estimated Rs 99 crore project has revamped the path from Red Fort to Fatehpuri Masjid.

The redevelopment work on the project had begun on 1st December 2018 and was targeted to be completed by November 2020 but due to the Covid, it got delayed by a year.

The Chandni Chowk area is developed by the Delhi Government in a modern way to promote tourism in Delhi. There will be a ban on the movement of motorized vehicles on this road from 9 AM to 9 PM so that people coming to Chandani Chowk do not have to face problems including traffic jams.

The Chief Minister said that the main road of Chandani Chowk has been redeveloped. "It is a historical heritage site and the entire area has been made very beautiful, seeking to bring back the glory of this old historical place. After the beautification of Chandani Chowk, tourism would get a major boost, and people coming to Delhi would be attracted to pay a visit to Chandani Chowk."

The Govt had decided to renovate and beautify the main road of Chandani Chowk, which is right opposite the Red Fort, in light of its historic importance. Chandani Chowk has its own identity . However, due to its dilapidated condition, people here had to face a lot of trouble. In addition to this, due to the tourist crowds and traffic jams, India’s international image was adversely affected. Therefore, the Kejriwal government started to enhance the beauty of Chandani Chowk from Red Fort to Fatehpuri Mosque, so that the visiting tourists could admire its beauty.

During the renovation and beautification process, the provision of various facilities to the tourists has been taken care of. No stone was left unturned in order to enhance the beauty of Chandani Chowk and granite tiles have been used for the same, a senior government official said.
