The Delhi Government on Friday announced the complete transformation of the Dilli Haat, the cultural hub with modern artifacts and will be illuminated with state-of-the-art LED lights. The work will be completed in the next five to six months.
Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia approved the proposed design for the modification of Dilli Haat.
“The designs for INA's modification emphasise on the use of natural sustainable raw materials, such as to revamp all existing stalls with bamboo roofing. The food court of Dilli Haat will be upgraded and a luxurious indoor dining area will be created. As per the plans, the modification work shall be complete within the next five to six months,” said Sisodia, while addressing the media.
“Dilli Haat located at INA is a unique cultural hub and reflects the diverse, dynamic culture of India. It is also a centre of tourism in Delhi and tourists coming to the city always ensure that they visit Dilli Haat. This hub gives people an opportunity to witness and partake in the culture of different states of India,” he said.
“The Delhi government will modify Dilli Haat with these considerations in mind, so as to preserve its cultural value, so that it can be given a new look and attract thousands of tourists over the coming years,” Deputy CM stated.
“The transformation of Dilli Haat shall greatly enhance the visual appeal and experience of the hub for the tourists that visit the place. The modification has several elements as a part of the plan, such as the replacement of the existing flooring, curb stones and slate stones. The Benches present at various spots within the premises for tourists will also be upgraded,” informed Sisodia.
Deputy CM said that keeping the environment in mind, natural raw material shall be used during the modification. “The walls will be redeveloped using stone nets. Modern art will be used to decorate the entire Haat all the way up to the entrance,” he underlined.
