PM to inaugurate newly constructed flats for MPs in New Delhi tomorrow

PM Modi inaugurates 184 sustainable MP flats in Delhi, featuring green tech, earthquake resistance, and inclusive design for Parliament members.

"Incorporating green technology, the project adheres to GRIHA 3-star standards and complies with NBC 2016. – PMO Press Release"

New Delhi, August 10

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate 184 newly constructed Type-VII multi-storey flats for Members of Parliament at Baba Kharak Singh Marg, New Delhi, on Monday.

PM is also scheduled to plant a Sindoor sapling, interact with 'sramajeevis' and deliver a keynote address on the occasion, according to a press release from PMO.

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. Incorporating green technology, the project adheres to 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 aluminium shuttering--enabled timely completion of the project while ensuring structural durability. The complex is also Divyang-friendly, demonstrating a commitment to inclusive design.

According to the release, the development of the project was necessitated due to a shortage of adequate housing for Members of Parliament. Owing to the limited availability of land, there has been a sustained emphasis on vertical housing developments aimed at optimising land use and minimising maintenance costs.

Each residential unit offers approximately 5,000 square feet of carpet area, providing ample space for both residential and official functions. The inclusion of dedicated areas for offices, staff accommodation, and a community center will support members of Parliament in fulfilling their responsibilities as public representatives.

All buildings within the complex are constructed to be earthquake-resistant, in accordance with modern structural design norms. A comprehensive and robust security system has been implemented to ensure the safety of all residents, the release added.

While the project sounds impressive, I wonder if this is the best use of taxpayer money when so many Indians still lack basic housing. Couldn't these funds be better utilized elsewhere?

The earthquake-resistant design is crucial for Delhi-NCR region. Good to see modern safety standards being implemented in government projects. Hope they maintain these buildings properly!

5000 sq ft per MP seems excessive when common citizens struggle to get 500 sq ft homes in cities. The government should lead by example in space utilization.

Appreciate the Divyang-friendly approach! Finally seeing some thought given to accessibility in public infrastructure. Hope this becomes standard for all government buildings. 👍

The green technology aspects are world-class. If MPs experience these benefits firsthand, maybe they'll push for similar standards in public housing projects across India.

Good facilities for MPs are necessary, but I hope they remember these comforts when making policies for ordinary citizens. The gap between leaders and common people shouldn't grow wider.
