New Parliament Building to be inaugurated by Prime Minister Modi this month
The final phase of the construction of the new Parliament Building in India is underway and is expected to be completed by the end of May. Reports suggest that it may be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the last week of May to mark nine years of his government. The new parliament building is part of the Central Vista redevelopment project, which includes the renovation of the three-km road from Rashtrapati Bhavan to India Gate, the General Central Secretariat, the Prime Minister’s new office and residence, and the new Vice President’s Enclave. The new Parliament building includes a grand Constitution Hall, a lounge for Members of Parliament, a library, board rooms, dining areas, and ample parking.
Construction of the new Parliament Building
The construction of the new Parliament Building began two years ago, and its tender was awarded to Tata Projects Ltd in September 2020 at a cost of Rs. 861 crore. However, the cost later rose to around Rs 1,200 crore due to additional works. The original deadline for completing the project was November 2020. The new building is a reflection of India’s democratic heritage and includes modern facilities that are expected to last for many years to come.
Inauguration and festivities
Sources suggest that Prime Minister Modi may inaugurate the new Parliament Building in the last week of May to mark nine years of his government. The BJP has planned a month-long border exercise, including a rally by Prime Minister Modi, and 51 public meetings of its senior leaders, to mark the ninth anniversary of its government at the Centre. The exercise is expected to start from May 30, the day Modi was sworn in as Prime Minister for the second time in 2019, and will continue till June 30.
