New Delhi [India], August 10 (ANI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate 184 newly constructed Type-VII Multi-Storey Flats for Members of Parliament at Baba Kharak Singh (BKS) Marg, New Delhi, on Monday.
According to an official release from the Lok Sabha Secretariat, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla; Union Minister of Housing and Urban Affairs and Power Manohar Lal; Union Minister of Parliamentary Affairs and Minority Affairs Kiren Rijiju; Chairperson, House Committee (Lok Sabha), Dr. Mahesh Sharma; Members of Parliament; and other dignitaries will grace the occasion.
On this occasion, the Prime Minister will plant a Sindoor sapling at the residential premises and interact with ‘shramjeevis.’
The complex is designed to be self-sufficient and is equipped with a full range of modern amenities to address the functional needs of MPs. Incorporating green technology, the project adheres to the standards of the GRIHA 3-star rating and complies with the National Building Code (NBC) 2016, the release said.
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 timely completion of the project while ensuring structural durability. The complex is also Divyangjan-friendly, demonstrating a commitment to inclusive design.
Each residential unit offers ample space for both residential and official functions. Dedicated areas for offices, staff accommodation, and a community center will support MPs in fulfilling their responsibilities as public representatives.
From a safety perspective, 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 project was necessitated due to a shortage of adequate housing for Members of Parliament. Owing to limited land availability, there has been sustained emphasis on vertical housing developments aimed at optimizing land use and minimizing maintenance costs.
This residential complex, situated at BKS Marg, New Delhi, offers significant locational advantages for Members of Parliament, particularly due to its proximity to the Parliament House Complex.
