While posting several images, Puri said 'toil & perseverance of our workers is giving shape to architectural heritage for the future generations." Taking a dig at the Opposition which has been criticising the projects, Puri said, " happy to inform the 'Vidvaans' (learned) that their ice cream evenings are going to get even better!"

"Work is on schedule. Quick progress being made. The new look Central Vista Avenue, with a judicious mix of modern with traditional will redefine the heart of the city. More public spaces. Easier public access. Greener & better."

He also said, "all the false narratives about Central Vista Avenue are coming crashing down. The fruit laden Jamun trees stand tall as the landscape around them is being redeveloped & upgraded. There were rumours that these have been cut down!."
