The Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs has issued a notification approving amendments to the Delhi Master Plan for its ambitious and controversial – Central Vista Project at Rs 20,000 crore. While India is making various efforts to prevent the infection of coronavirus pandemic and the medical fraternity is lamenting the lack of equipment and safety measures.
Central Vista Project will include the construction of a new triangular-shaped Parliament, new PM residence, and 10 new building blocks to accommodate government offices, including Shastri Bhavan, Nirman Bhavan, Udyog Bhavan, Krishi Bhavan and Vayu Bhavan, among others.
Under this project, many historic buildings located in the four square kilometres from Rashtrapati Bhavan to India Gate will be rebuilt and redeveloped.
Central Government has been amended ‘Land Use’ for five plots, including a proposal to construct a new triangular-shaped Parliament building next to the existing Parliament, new PM residence, and 10 new building blocks to accommodate government offices, including Shastri Bhavan, Nirman Bhavan, Udyog Bhavan, Krishi Bhavan and Vayu Bhavan, among others.
The Delhi Development Authority invited objections and suggestions on the proposed amendments in the Master Plan of Delhi-2021 and the Zonal Development Plan of Zone-D & Zone-C last year by the Central Government, according to the notification.
It states that 1,292 objections and suggestions regarding the proposed amendments were received and considered by the Board of Enquiry and Hearing constituted by the DDA.

Notification of change in land use of Delhi Master Plan for Central Vista Project.The money can also be used to acquire more oxygen ventilators for patients who show acute respiratory distress. When we start to search the pricing of ventilators then we can get fixed ventilators used in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) between Rs 2.80 lakh and Rs 9.3 lakh and the price of portable ventilators falls between Rs 1.5 lakh and Rs 6.5 lakh. A rough calculation yields that some 7.14 lakh ICU ventilators or 13.3 lakh portable ventilators of the cheapest kind can be bought with the Rs 20,000 crore set aside for the Central Vista project, according to the Week.
