Inauguration of the New Parliament Building

The new Parliament building was inaugurated on May 28, by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Delhi. The ceremony was held in the morning. The historical Sengol was handed over to Narendra Modi and placed in the new building. 

The new Parliament building has more seats compared to the old Parliament building. The new building is triangular in structure while the old Parliament had a circular shape. The new Parliament building is built to be earthquake-safe as Delhi is an earthquake prone city. The new Parliament was designed by a 61 year old architect named Bimal Hasmukh Patel.
