Five vending zones have been created at the Central Vista project site where 40 stalls will be allowed. There are two blocks near India Gate and each block will have eight shops. However, selling and eating of any food will be prohibited in the park premises.

Emphasis on strict security
Round-the-clock security will be deployed after the project opens to the general public.
