PM to Inaugurate Newly Constructed Flats for MPs in New Delhi
The complex is designed to be self-sufficient and is equipped with a full range of modern amenities to address the functional needs of the members of the Parliament.
NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate 184 newly constructed Type-VII multi-storey flats for Members of Parliament at Baba Kharak Singh Marg in the national capital on Monday. On the occasion, he will plant a Sindoor sapling at the residential premises, interact with ‘shramajeevis,’ and address the gathering.
The Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) said the complex is designed to be self-sufficient and is equipped with modern amenities to meet the functional needs of Members of Parliament.
Incorporating green technology, the project meets the standards of the GRIHA 3-star rating and complies with the National Building Code (NBC) 2016. These environmentally sustainable features are expected to contribute to energy conservation, renewable energy generation, and effective waste management.
The use of advanced construction technology, specifically, monolithic concrete with aluminum shuttering, enabled the timely completion of the project while ensuring structural durability. The complex is also Divyang-friendly, reflecting a commitment to inclusive design.
The project was undertaken due to a shortage of adequate housing for Members of Parliament. Given the limited availability of land, there has been a sustained emphasis on vertical housing to optimize land use and minimise maintenance costs.
Each residential unit offers approximately 5,000 square feet of carpet area, providing ample space for both residential and official functions. Dedicated areas for offices, staff accommodation, and a community centre will support MPs in carrying out their responsibilities as public representatives.
All buildings in the complex are earthquake-resistant, in line with modern structural design norms. A comprehensive and robust security system has been installed to ensure the safety of all residents.
The inauguration will be attended by Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, minister of housing and urban affairs Manohar Lal, parliamentary affairs minister Kiren Rijiju, Lok Sabha House committee chairperson Dr Mahesh Sharma, MPs, and other dignitaries.
