The Times of India: A New Parliament?
More than a new building, what Parliament needs is new regulations against disruption  हंगामा

Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan has written to Urban Development Minister Venkaiah Naidu with a proposal  प्रस्ताव  for a new Parliament building, arguing that the 88-year old Sansad Bhavan is showing signs of “distress  दुःख  and over utilisation  प्रयोग “ and it won't be able to meet the legislature's  कानून बनाने वाली सभा growing demand for space. The Speaker's proposal for a “new state-of-art Parliament building“ echoes  गूंज  a similar one made earlier by her predecessor पूर्वाधिकारी Meira Kumar.Mahajan has reportedly  खबरों के अनुसार suggested two options for an alternative building: either a new building within the existing Parliament complex or a new one nearby , across Rajpath in the heart of Lutyens' Delhi.
Two major reasons have been cited  प्रमाण देना in support of a new building.First, there is no scope for increasing the present seating capacity of the House though the number of seats in Lok Sabha may go up in 2026.
Second, the present structure, inaugurated  शुभारंभ करना in 1927, does not have adequate  पर्याप्त space to accommodate all the staff, security and parliamentary activities that have exponentially चरघातांकी तरीके से grown since then.
Sansad Bhavan or Parliament House is as central to the heart of Delhi as West minster is to London or the Capitol  अमरीकी संसद भवन Building is to Washington. While it certainly needs upgrades and modifications, is there really a need to create a whole new building, especially given the huge financial costs that will be involved? As a heritage उत्तराधिकार
building that is central to the imagination  कल्पना  of India, and of its capital, Parliament is a landmark  सीमाचिह्न. Creating a new one may be unnecessary .
In fact, India's legislative building is young compared to many peers  मित्र समूह (: the United States Capitol has been in use since 1800 and London's Palace of Westminster has been home to the British Parliament for centuries. Both have undergone  गुज़रना upgradations. The British Parliament's current restoration plan, for example, is estimated to cost over five billion pounds, while the US Capitol has also been renovated several times. Our own Parliament has been refurbished  नवीकरण करना in the past with the creation of a new Parliament Library complex. Such additions are essential but not changing the seat of India's democracy .
More than a new house, what Parliament needs is new regulations against disruption that ensure taxpayer money is not wasted. For example, between 2009 and 2014, Parliament sat on average for 69 days each year (less than 18.9% of each year). This winter session, Rajya Sabha only worked for 51% of its scheduled time. Each minute of parliamentary disruption costs Rs 29,000. This is what we need to fix urgently.
