#CentralVista
This is for the people who spread fake information on a transparent initiative to build Inspiring modern facilities for Indian govt offices.
Central Vista was originally designed 100 years ago in 1920 by famous British Town Planning Architect - Edwin Lutyens.
The only objective that time was to build a home for India's Viceroy and all "revenue collection" office buildings as per British Monarchy structure.
Including Parliament building, entire central vista area has many buildings older than 100 years.
the need for new parliament building was raised by many MPs in the last 25-30 years. There was an attempt even in 2012 during UPA government. This was the time when Delhi was already facing common wealth games scam and this proposal didn't proceed further.
Current facilities has following serious concerns
❌ Not Earthquake proof
❌ Not Disabled Friendly
❌ Fire protection systems are not fully implemented
❌ Emergency exits not available
❌ 30/50 Ministry offices spread all over delhi
❌ No private offices for all MPs
❌ Not possible to add even single additional seat in Lok sabha
❌ Joint sessions of Loksabha & Rajyasabha are conducted using plastic chairs
❌ Toilets and Floors need complete overhaul as drainage wasn't planned well
