NEW DELHI: In a bid to put an end to housing crisis faced by Members of Parliament in the national Capital, the Government is mulling construction of multi-storeyed flats at an estimated cost of Rs 60 crore at the heritage site Luteyen's Zone.
"We have received a proposal from the Rajya Sabha Housing Committee for construction of modern flats for MPs," S M Acharya, Additional Secretary, ministry of Urban Development, said.
As per the proposal, the high-rise modern flats numbering about 150 are to be constructed on two acres of land in Ferozshah Road.
"However, mandatory clearances from the concerned agencies including Delhi Urban Arts Commission (DUAC) and the NDMC are required before removing the existing structures and constructing new houses in Lutyen's Zone," said Acharya.
The government had earlier constructed multi-storeyed apartments for Rajya Sabha MPs.
"There are about 300 houses in North Avenue and South Avenue meant for MPs and but are not in habitable condition. They should be demolished to make rooms for modern apartments," said J P Aggarwal, chairman of the Rajya Sabha Housing Committee.
"We have submitted a proposal to the Urban Development ministry for construction of multi-storeyed modern flats in Ferozshah Road. There is a big gap between demand and supply of houses for MPs in Delhi. The land is also scarce. The solution lies in constructing multi-storeyed flats," he said.
According to an initial estimate, each flat would cost about Rs 40 lakh, he said.
