New Delhi: Delhi Lieutenant Governor Taranjit Singh Sandhu on Wednesday called for developing globally recognised cultural events and strengthening the city’s night economy, saying these initiatives could help showcase the national capital’s heritage while supporting artists, performers and local businesses. Chairing a meeting with officials of the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) and the Tourism Department, Sandhu said Delhi should develop its own iconic cultural events through public-private partnerships, along the lines of major international cities. He said such recurring events could attract visitors from India and abroad and contribute to the city’s creative economy. The lieutenant governor said Delhi’s heritage and culture should be promoted through inclusive platforms involving citizens, artists and youth. He also called for promoting heritage walks and similar public engagement programmes to help residents and tourists better connect with the city’s cultural legacy.
