PM Modi To Inaugurate ‘Kartavya Path’, Unveil Statue Of Subhash Chandra Bose At India Gate
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the 'Kartavya Path' at India Gate at 7 pm on Thursday. The statue of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose is also to be unveiled on the same day. According to a statement from the Prime Minister's Office, naming Rajpath the Kartavya Path is to set an example by removing the symbol of power and naming it public ownership and empowerment.
Issuing a statement on Wednesday, the Prime Minister's Office said, "Prime Minister will also unveil the statue of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose at India Gate on the occasion. These steps are in line with Prime Minister’s second Panch Pran for New India in Amrit Kaal: remove any trace of colonial mindset,” the statement said.
According to the PMO, it lacks basic amenities like public toilets, drinking water, street furniture and adequate parking space. In addition, there was inadequate signage, poor maintenance of water features and haphazard parking. Making the Rajpath a duty path has been done keeping in mind all the concerns including redevelopment while ensuring the integrity and continuity of the architecture.
