Groundbreaking For New Parliament Today, PM Modi To Attend

The symbolic building of the new parliament building on the Central Vista will begin today, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi attending the groundbreaking ceremony at the heart of Delhi near India Gate. The actual construction, however, cannot begin immediately, with a petition challenging the project pending in Supreme Court. The new parliament building is the key piece of the ₹ 20,000-crore Central Vista project, which aims to build and refurbish the government buildings on part of the 13.4-km Rajpath that stretches from the presidential palace Rashtrapati Bhavan to the iconic war memorial India Gate.
