Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated Kartavya Bhavan, the first of 10 planned Common Central Secretariat buildings under the Central Vista project. It will house several ministries, replacing outdated structures to streamline government operations and enhance administrative efficiency

A bench comprising Justices MR Shah and Krishna Murari dismissed the plea filed by the petitioner.

The government has decided to rename the historic Rajpath in the national capital as 'Kartavyapath', sources said.

While poor countries are helping India in their own way, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is not ready to stop the ambitious project of Central Vista worth Rs 20,000 crore, the Sena said.

The CPWD, which is executing the project, had revised its estimated cost from Rs 11,794 crore to Rs 13,450 crore.

The project envisages a new triangular Parliament building, with a seating capacity of up to 1,200 MPs. The project is estimated to be constructed by August 2022, when the country will celebrate its 75th Independence Day.

The new Parliament building will have a seating capacity for 888 members in the Lok Sabha and 384 members in Rajya Sabha as against the present 543 members and 245 members respectively.

In a letter to the Prime Minister, the Chief Minister stated, "I join you with a sense of pride on the occasion of laying foundation stone for the grand project of Central Vista."
