Central Vista Redevelopment: Over 7,000 Defence Ministry Officers, Staff Set To Move To Brand New Office Complexes
Source: Firstpost
In a significant development related to the ambitious Central Vista redevelopment project of the Government, more than 7,000 officers and staff of the Ministry of Defence are set to move into brand new offices at the Africa Avenue and the Kasturba Gandhi Marg from their existingdecades-old workplaces in a clutch of pre-Independence era hutments in the vicinity of the North and South Blocks, reports Hindustan Times.
On 16 September, Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi will be inaugurating the new office complex of the Ministry of Defence at Africa Avenue, paving the way for the relocation to begin. The said complex is scattered across four blocks. Meanwhile, the complex at the Kasturba Gandhi Marg has three blocks and an office area.
This would free up as much as 50 acres of land for the Central Vista development.
It should be noted that some of these hutments served as stables for British Army horses more than 75 years ago. As many as 27 wings of the Ministry of Defence, including a navy station INS India, the Armed Forces Clinic and a medical wing of the armed forces have been operating from these hutments for decades.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
