Item No. 4: Proposal in respect of Optimum Plan of Pragati Maidan.

(a) A reference received from ITPO was taken up for consideration and also discussed with the concerned officers of ITPO and their consultant. The consultant of ITPO presented the proposal before the HCC.

(b) The HCC observed that the most important aspect of protected monuments of Purana Quila in the immediate vicinity of Pragati Maidan had not been taken into consideration in the proposal and had been totally ignored.

(c) The clearance of Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) should be obtained in the first instance.

(d) It was observed that the proposal should be shown in context of the existing heritage. A detailed presentation was required to be made.

(e) The area already allotted to the Supreme Court of India by the Competent Authority need to be clearly shown in the plans.
