New Parliament: The special session of Parliament called by the Modi government will be held in both the new and old Parliament Houses. The session will begin on September 18 in the old Parliament House, but on September 19, on the occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi, it will be shifted to the new Parliament House. The government has called a special session of Parliament from 18 to 22 September. The new building of Parliament was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the month of May this year. However, work had not started in this yet. The Monsoon session was entirely conducted in the old building of the Parliament, but now that the special session has been called, the proceedings of the Parliament are being shifted to the new building.

It is believed that all the further work of the Parliament will now be done in the new building only, that is, the winter session will also be organized in the new building. The special session of Parliament called by the Modi government will have a total of 5 sittings. What will be the main agenda of this session, it is not completely clear yet. However, there are many speculations regarding One Nation One Election, Women's Reservation Bill and other issues.

These are the features of the new building

If we talk about the new building of Parliament, then its foundation was laid in the year 2020, while it has been inaugurated in the year 2023. This building is built right next to the old Parliament House, which has been built by Tata Projects. The Central Government has built a new Parliament House under the Central Vista Project, which has modern facilities.

In this Parliament House, both Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha have more seats for MPs, while 1280 MPs can sit together for the joint session. The new Parliament House, built in a budget of about Rs 900 crore, is equipped with modern facilities, including a museum, library, and other special facilities for MPs.
