Water Leakage in New Parliament Building Addressed Promptly

The Lok Sabha Secretariat reported a minor water leak in the new Parliament building caused by the displacement of adhesive material used to fix glass domes. Immediate corrective measures were taken, and the leakage was resolved. Heavy rains in Delhi caused water accumulation, but it was quickly drained.

The Lok Sabha Secretariat announced on Thursday that a minor water leak in the new Parliament building resulted from the displacement of adhesive material securing the glass domes over the lobby. Immediate corrective measures were taken to resolve the issue.

The statement came in response to videos shared by opposition members, questioning the building's weather resilience. According to the Secretariat, heavy rains on Wednesday displaced the adhesive, causing minor leakage, which was promptly addressed.

The Secretariat also noted that the problem was detected timely, with no further incidents reported. Heavy rains caused water logging in some parts of Delhi, but water accumulated near Makar Dwar in the Parliament building was drained quickly. The incorporation of glass domes aims to utilize abundant natural light in the new 'Green Parliament' building.
