Just after a year of completion 'Water Drips' spotted in Rs.970 crore-worth Parliament

Just after one year of completion water drips spotted in Rs.970 crore-estimated Parliament in India

Heavy rainfall in Delhi on Wednesday plunged the national capital in tumult as huge pieces of the city went submerged.

The monsoon's fury reached the Parliament, which had just been built. One year after the building's completion, social media videos show water leaking from its ceiling.

The new parliament building was built in a record amount of time. The new building was dedicated on May 28, 2023, and the foundation stone was laid on December 10, 2020, by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. 

The building, which is in the heart of New Delhi and is next to the old complex, was built for an estimated Rs.970 crore.

Users on social media also drew parallels between the recent leakage in other newly constructed buildings, such as airports and even the Ayodhya Ram Mandir, and the video inspired courage.

Speaking to this, Congress MP Manickam Tagore states, “To address this, I propose forming a specialized committee, including MPs from all parties, to inspect the building thoroughly. The committee will focus on the causes of the leaks, evaluate the design and materials, and recommend necessary repairs. Additionally, it should establish a maintenance protocol and ensure transparency by publicly sharing its findings”.

Further he added, “water leaks inside the Parliament lobby along the path used by our President of India when entering the new Parliament building.”

Similarly, Samajwadi Party Chief Akhilesh Yadav states, "The old Parliament was better than this new one, where even the former MPs could visit. Why not return to the old Parliament until the issues with the new one, built with billions of rupees, are resolved?"

"People are questioning whether the water dripping from every new roof constructed under the BJP government is part of their well-thought-out design or something else”, he added.
