INDIA Gate, one of Delhi's most iconic landmarks and a popular public spot, is witnessing a transformation in visitor experience following the imposition of new restrictions by authorities. The recent ban on carrying food items, personal bags, bed sheets, and pets has drawn mixed reactions from the public.

According to officials, the decision aims to improve cleanliness, ensure better crowd management, and maintain the sanctity of the national monument. However, the move has disrupted traditional practices at the site, especially for families and tourists who once treated those lawns as a picnic and leisure destination.
