The New Delhi Municipal Council has approved a proposal to rename the iconic Rajpath, formerly known as The Kingsway. Lok Sabha MP Meenakshi Lekhi confirmed that the proposal was approved in a meeting of the NDMC council. The new name of the pathway will be ‘Kartavya Path’ or the path of duty.
The proposal to rename Rajpath was brought by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs. The entire stretch — the area from the statue of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose to the Rashtriya Bhavan will be called ‘Kartavya Path’.
