The Delhi High Court on Monday reserved its judgment on the plea seeking a stop to the Central Vista construction, considering the current Covid pandemic situation and also claiming that this was not an “essential” service as declared by the Central government.
The Central Vista project envisages constructing a new Parliament House, a new residential complex that will house the Prime Minister and the Vice-President, as well as several new office buildings and a Central Secretariat to accommodate ministry offices.
Senior advocate Maninder Singh, for Shapoorji Pallonji, agreed with the submissions of the Centre and said that all facilities are being provided to the workers. After lengthy arguments, the court reserved its judgment.
