NEW DELHI: The expert appraisal committee of environment and forest ministry will take up the application for granting environmental clearance for the new Parliament project on Tuesday. Sources said, meanwhile, the housing and urban affairs ministry will soon undertake renovation of Janpath Hotel, which is now lying unused, for temporary relocation of the Indira Gandhi National Centre for Art (IGNCA).Relocating IGNCA is crucial as government plans to build the first office block on the plot occupied by this government-funded arts organisation. This will pave the way for shifting of offices from the existing buildings and expediting the redevelopment works. Sources said the construction of new office buildings will be taken up in a phased manner so that there is less displacement of people.As per the Central Vista redevelopment plan, IGNCA will be finally shifted to the area where Jamnagar House hutments are currently located. Sources said the offices operating from these hutments and other such complexes in the area will be shifted to a new building, which will come up on a vacant plot on the Kasturba Gandhi Marg and some of these offices will also be shifted to an office building in Africa Avenue area in south Delhi. Officials said a proper work plan has been prepared to ensure that the entire redevelopment work is carried out smoothly.Meanwhile, sources said that the Central Public Works Department (CPWD), has bid out the work for shifting of the present reception area and other facilities at Parliament complex. They added the makeshift reception will move close to the existing Parliament. “We need to free up more space for construction of new Parliament. The relocation of reception area will start soon,” said a source.According to the application filed by the CPWD with environment ministry, the new Parliament will be constructed in 260 days and this will involve nearly 200 permanent and 3,000 temporary workers.
