Land-use proposal of parade ground near Rashtrapati Bhavan among 34 Ridge projects under review
A proposal to utilize approximately 12.6 hectares of land at the President's Bodyguard parade ground, located near Rashtrapati Bhavan, is among 34 projects currently being reviewed by the Standing Committee of the Delhi Ridge Management Board. This includes 7.58 hectares of protected Ridge land. The 34 proposals span various areas such as construction, infrastructure, land use, and other works.
The committee has chosen 10 projects for physical inspection, with four being evaluated by the committee itself and six under the supervision of the Chief Conservator of Forests along with committee members. The PBG proposal involves the use of land within the Central Ridge, adjacent to Gate 28 of Rashtrapati Bhavan, for training purposes.
The Ridge, a forested and rocky area, runs through several parts of Delhi. Other notable projects include the Delhi-Karnataka Namo Bharat Corridor, a project at Jawaharlal Nehru University, development at Buddha Jayanti Park, conservation efforts at Sanjay Van, and infrastructure projects at Army Hospital (R&R) and Delhi Cantonment.
