The Centre on Saturday released a document to bust the myths around the Central Vista project, which has been used by the opposition Congress party to attack the government. Further, the ministry rejected the charge of diverting funds from public healthcare and Covid-19 response to the Central Vista Project. ₹35,000 crore of the annual allocation has been allocated as a one-time grant towards Covid-19 vaccination, significantly more than the cost of the Central Vista redevelopment project. The government further said that environmental sustainability is at the core of the Central Vista project, debunking the myth that it is contributing to environmental damage. The ministry further said that the Central Vista project will create additional public and green spaces.
