Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the construction site of the new Parliament building in Delhi late this evening. Wearing a white kurta churidar with a safety helmet, PM Modi was seen inspecting the ongoing work.
This was the first time the Prime Minister was visiting the site of the building whose construction has received a lot of criticism from opposition parties amid the pandemic. Opposition parties say that the project should be put on hold to save money for managing the COVID-19 pandemic.
The main Central Vista project envisages the construction of a new Parliament building, a new residential complex, which houses the offices of the Prime Minister and the Vice President. It will also have new office buildings and a central secretariat to accommodate the offices of various ministries.
