Delhi To Revamp Chandni Chowk & Majnu Ka Tila As Food Hubs, Says CM Arvind Kejriwal

The AAP government will also hold a design competition to shortlist the architecture firm that will take over the project.

New Delhi: In a bid to popularise the city as the food capital of the country, the Delhi government has identified Chandni Chowk and Majnu Ka Tila that will be developed as food hubs, news agency PTI reported. According to the report, in the first phase of the Delhi government's ambitious project to popularise the city as the food capital, Chandni Chowk and Majnu Ka Tila will be developed as food hubs, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said on Sunday.

During an online briefing, CM Kejriwal said that Delhi is known as the food capital, but with the development of these food hubs, the city will actually live up to the name.

"Delhi has various food hubs known for serving different cuisines. Some of the hubs serve all varieties of food. So, in the first phase, we will develop Majnu Ka Tila, a favourite of the Delhi University students, and Chandni Chowk food hubs. Based on the learnings from these, we will develop other areas," PTI quoted CM Kejriwal as saying.

It is to be noted that this development would entail improvement of the infrastructure and food safety norms, the chief minister further said, adding that the AAP government will also hold a design competition to shortlist the architecture firm that will take over the project.

Notably, in September last year, CM Kejriwal had also inaugurated the revamped Chandni Chowk market with more facilities for the Delhi residents.

After the redevelopment, food joints were allowed to remain open for 3-4 more hours till 12 am, and the 1.3-km-long stretch between the Red Fort and the Fatehpuri Masjid crossing has been improved and beautified.
