@ Temporary Buildings in New Delhi
422. Sir F. E. James : Will the Honourable the Labour Member be pleased to state:
(a) whether his attention has been drawn to the notice erected near certain temporary buildings in course of construction in Connaught Place, intimating that these buildings are to be demolished immediately after the war; and
(b) if the same condition applies to the temporary buildings erected on Queens way ?
The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : (a) Yes.
(b) All the buildings have been constructed as temporary buildings. The intention is that they shall be pulled down as soon as may be after the conclusion of the war, though no final decision has yet been taken.
Sir F. E. James : Will the Honourable Member explain the difference between immediately after the war and ‘as soon as may be’, because some of the buildings in Connaught Place are placarded as ‘to be demolished immediately after the war’ ?
