Delhi’s Pragati Maidan Tunnel to be closed for traffic on Sundays to let public enjoy murals inside



The Pragati Maidan Tunnel, which Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently inaugurated, will be closed to vehicular traffic every Sunday as authorities have decided to allow public to visit the Rs 920 crore project and enjoy the mesmerising artwork inside.

Pragati Maidan Tunnel has turned into a selfie point

The 1.3-km-long tunnel, which has eased connectivity between central Delhi with satellite towns of Noida and Ghaziabad, has turned into a selfie point as people are often seen clicking pictures with the murals depicting India’s culture, flora-fauna, zodiac symbols and six seasons in different parts of the country from Kashmir to Kanyakumari.

Officials of the International Trade Promotion Organisation (ITPO), a Central government entity that is managing the tunnel, said the artwork inside the facility is a “feast to the eyes” and the public should be 
allowed to witness the splendid work.

Tunnel will be kept close on every Sunday

“We have decided to keep the tunnel closed for traffic every Sunday for the time being and allow the public to witness the mesmerising artwork inside. Pedestrians will be allowed to walk around. This arrangement will come into force coming Sunday,” ITPO Chairman and Managing Director LC Goyal told on June 24.

The Delhi Police also took Twitter to keep the people informed about the move. “Pragati Maidan Tunnel will be closed on Sunday, i.e. 26.06.22 for vehicular traffic. Only pedestrians will be able to access the tunnel. Kindly use Ring Road, Bhairon Road & Mathura Road as an alternative,” it tweeted.
