PM Modi reached the construction site at around 8:45 pm and stayed there for around an hour, reported news agency IANS.

This was his first visit to the construction site and PM Modi interacted with people involved in the construction site during his short stay.

The prime minister returned on Sunday afternoon from the US where he had held bilateral talks with US President Joe Biden, participated in the Quad summit, and also addressed the UNGA.

Last year, he laid the foundation stone of the new Parliament building, which is likely to be completed by next year.

The Central Vista project also includes the construction of a common Secretariat for Central government offices, the Prime Minister's office and residence, the Special Protection Group building and the Vice President's Enclave.
