Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate 184 new flats for MPs on Baba Khark Singh Marg in New Delhi today. All these are multi-store apartments of flats type-7. Modi will plant a plant of ‘sindoor’, meet labormen and address the program.
These new flats were created because there was a shortage of housing for MPs. Due to limited land, tall buildings were constructed here, which would make better use of space and reduce the cost of maintenance.
Each flat is about 5 thousand square feet of carpet area, which has the living of MPs as well as their office, staff room and community center. All buildings are seismic and strong security arrangements have been made for security.
These flats have been built by the Central Public Works Department at a cost of about Rs 550 crore.

The project has been designed according to the GRIHA 3-Star rating standards and the rules of the 2016 National Building Code.
