Despite criticism, PM Modi to go ahead with Central Vista project

Modi firm on Central Vista
 

Will the government’s plans to open a new Parliament by 2022 fructify? The Congress had asked it to call off the re-development of the Central Vista (the new Parliament is a part of that) given the battering the economy has taken after Covid-19. But Prime Minister Narendra Modi seems determined to carry on with it. The Rs 922-crore new Parliament building is being built by the Central Public Works Department. It will have a maximum height of 42 metre spread over 65,000 square metre of built-up area on a 10.5 acre or 42,031 square metre
