The Central Public Works Department has directed its officials to make short videos of some of the infrastructure projects it has completed, with a voice-over explaining the significance of the "iconic buildings".

It has listed some of projects it completed in the recent past such as Sadaiv Atal Samadhi in New Delhi; National Salt Satyagarha Memorial in Dandi; and Dr B R Memorial in Delhi.

Sadaiv Atal Samadhi, a memorial of former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, was inaugurated on his 94th birth anniversary on December 25 last year.
