New Delhi, November 23
Union Minister of State for Housing and Urban Affairs Kaushal Kishore has said tha finishing touches are being given to the new Parliament building and the Lok Sabha Speaker will decide whether the forthcoming Winter Session will be held there or in the existing building.
The Winter Session of Parliament will begin on December 7 and conclude on December 29.
The government has maintained that the project would be completed by November.
Kishore said on Tuesday that the project is on track and efforts are being made to complete the construction work as soon as possible.
“The Speaker will decide whether the Winter Session of Parliament will be held in the new building or the old one,” Kishore told PTI.
On the completion of the project, Union Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said earlier this month that it was up to the government to make the announcement regarding the date.
In December 2020, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had laid the foundation stone of the new Parliament building which will have modern facilities. Tata Projects Ltd is constructing the building.
