MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF URBAN DEVELOPMENT ( SHRI BANDARU DATTATREYA )
(a)&(b): No, Sir. However, maintenance and development
of Rajghat has not been of the level befitting a international
monument of its stature.
(c): It has been decided that except for the main Samadhi and
the VVIP route leading to the Samadhi, which would continue to
be managed/maintained by the Rajghat Samadhi Committee, the
remaining area would be directly maintained by the Govt. with a
view to ensuring effective redevelopment and improvement of the
area.
