Photographs of the interior of the Hall of Nations complex being prepared for demolition. Electrical conduits and other services are being removed. The photographer, who wishes to remain anonymous, was escorted by ITPO's security staff, and was informed that demolition was scheduled to begin on Friday, April 21st 2017 pending court orders. ITPO has announced its intention1 to conclude the demolition process by 31st May 2017

  • 1. ASG Jain, appearing for the Centre, had opposed Rewal's plea contending that the Hall of Nations is "not a one-of-its-kind architectural marvel". He said buildings by other eminent architects in Pragati Maidan have already been or would be demolished. He also said that once an expert view has been taken by the HCC and DUAC, judicial interference in the decision is not called for. As per ITPO the demolitions have to be completed and the debris removed by May 31 and the fresh construction has to start from June 1. Source: Times of India, April 22
