The massive urban renewal project is on the site of the stream. Until it was restored in 2005, Cheonggyecheon Stream existed only as a neglected waterway hidden by an overpass.
PM Modi spent quite some time at the spot, accompanied by the city mayor. He was greeted by enthusiastic Indian community members at the site and interacted with them.
