‘Construction of new Parliament to continue during lockdown’

All workers are staying on site and permission for construction granted, says contractor

Construction of the new Parliament building would continue during the lockdown announced by the Delhi government on Monday with those workers who are staying on site, according to government sources. The building, being built adjacent to the existing Parliament House, is scheduled to be completed by November 2022. While the Delhi government banned construction , projects where workers are residing on-site would be allowed. The construction would continue to the extent possible, said a Central Public Works Department official.
