PM Modi to inaugurate new Parliament building on May 28.
Date: 19-05-2023
The ruling BJP government will also celebrate nine years of coming to power on May 29. To mark the occasion, several events are set to be held in the new building along with the upcoming Monsoon session likely to be held in July.
- The ₹970 crore building, spread over 65,000 sq mts, has two large halls for the functioning of the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha; a library; a state-of-the-art Constitution Hall apart from offices for lawmakers and committee rooms for meetings.
- The PM had laid the foundation stone of the building in December 2020, but construction work on the four-storey building was delayed due to the Covid pandemic.
- In July last year, PM Modi had unveiled the National Emblem cast on the roof of the revamped Parliament building.
- The present building of the Parliament was completed in 1927, and is now 96 years old. Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha had passed resolutions urging the government to construct a new building for the Parliament as the old building was found to be inadequate for present day requirements.
