New Delhi, Jul 31 : Prime Minister Narendra Modi today inaugurated the 'extension' portion of Parliament House Annexe building here. The simple function was attended among others by Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan, Deputy Speaker M Thambidurai and Union Ministers Ananth Kumar and Narendra Singh Tomar. The extended building, which occupies an area of 2100 sqm, has been constructed at the cost of Rs 261.85-crore. The construction work on the building was completed on December 31 last year, taking a total of about five years. The Parliament House Annexe building was constructed by CPWD in 1975 to accommodate Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha Secretariat and a few chambers for standing committees, but since then a large number of standing committees had been formed resulting in logical rise in the staff and the need for other logistics. So a decision was taken by the Lok Sabha Secretariat in 2008 to construct an extension of the building, and foundation for the same was laid in 2009. Special care has been taken to make the building energy and water efficient and reduce Co2 emission in its construction. UNI
