The India Trade Promotion Organisation is going ahead with the construction of an Integrated Exhibition and Convention Centre (IECC) with latest modern architectural design at Pragati Maidan as courts have not stayed the demolition of certain structures.
In view of the redevelopment plan of Pragati Maidan, Hall No.1, Hall of Industry (Hall No. 2, 3, 4 and 5), Hall of Nations (Hall No. 6), Hall Nos. 15 and 20, State Pavilions of Haryana, Nagaland, Assam, Rajasthan and Central Ministries Pavilions like Defence, Health, and Rural Development have been dismantled by NBCC from time to time. The dismantling work of remaining structures is in progress for smooth time bound execution of IECC, said a press release issued by ITPO.
The release pointed out that the Heritage Conservation Committee (HCC), the statutory body of experts, decided in its meeting on 02.02.2017 that only those buildings which are at least 60 years old can be considered for inclusion in the heritage list. None of the structures, where demolition work is in progress, meets this heritage criterion.
