Yummy street food
It was originally built in the 17th century by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan. Chandni Chowk now sells some of the best street food available in the country. The food joints will be allowed to remain open for 3-4 more hours till midnight. Some joints will be opened after the market is closed for the day.

Why it was postponed
The project was to be inaugurated on April 17 this year. But it was cancelled due to the deadly second Covid wave which struck the city hard. Covid numbers in Delhi are now down.
