The New parliament building spread over 65,000 sq meters
The previous parliament building is a circular structure with a diameter of 560 feet (170.69 meters), a circumference of one-third of a mile (536.33 meters), and a surface area of about six acres (24,281 sq m). The new parliament building will be stretched out across an area of around 64,500 sq m.
LS chamber to be used for joint sessions
The lok sabha chamber will be utilized for joint sessions in place of the present Parliament's Central Hall in the new structure.
State-of-art technology in the new building
According to the Central Vista website, the ancient building's lack of compliance with contemporary fire safety regulations made fire safety a top issue. There were several other electrical cables, which may have caused a fire. In addition, unplanned additions to utilities over time, such as water supply lines, sewer lines, air conditioning, firefighting, CCTV, audio-video system, etc., had caused seepages and damaged the building's overall aesthetics.
The new structure, on the other hand, is equipped with cutting-edge technology, such as programmable microphones, wallet PLATFORM' target='_blank' title='digital-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW'>digital language interpretation or translation systems, and biometrics for simple voting. According to rumours, virtual sound simulations would be installed in the halls' interiors to regulate reverberation levels and prevent echos.
