Supreme Court nod for Central Vista project to redevelop the Lutyens zone including Parliament House and other heritage structures

The Hindu  

The controversial Central Vista project in Delhi, touted as Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “dream project”, received a nod from the Supreme Court on January 6. The Rs.20,000 crore project aims to redevelop 86 acres in the Lutyens zone, comprising iconic structures such as Parliament House, Rashtrapati Bhavan, India Gate, North Block and South Block, the National Archive, the National Museum and the Amar Jawan Jyoti. In March last year,, Rajeev Suri filed a petition under Article 32 of the Constitution, challenging the notification regarding change in land use in the Central Vista, an area “governed by its own existing regulations from recreational, public and semi-public spaces; to that of government offices and residences”. Initially constructed possibly as a statement of imperial grandeur and power, the Central Vista, in post-independent India, inspires and connects common people to the citadels of our democracy.” He expressed reservations on aspects of public participation, on the interpretation of the statutory provisions, the failure to take prior approval of the Heritage Conservation Committee and the order passed by the Expert Appraisal Committee.
