Nero's Pride: Not Even A Pandemic Can Stop The Central Vista Project
- 3 years ago
#CentralVistaProject
In the last few weeks India has been devastated by the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic.
Since April, more than 11 million new cases have been detected and 94,000 people have died from COVID-19.
Hospitals have run of beds, oxygen and other medical supplies. Crematoriums and graveyards in the country have been overflowing with the bodies of the dead.
But in the middle of this unprecedented crisis, there is one ‘essential service’ that is still continuing.
This essential service is the redevelopment of the Central Vista in Delhi, a prestige project of the BJP.
The Wire breaks down what this project is, what planners & architects have to say about it, and how it is able to continue in the middle of the worst phase of the pandemic.
