Delhi colonial bungalows under threat

Delhi colonial bungalows under threat (BBC)

The Central Public Works Division, which is the agency responsible for constructing government buildings, told the BBC the country's urban development ministry was "seriously thinking" about redeveloping the sprawling white mansions designed by the late British architect, Sir Edwin Lutyens, to construct spacious apartments to accommodate MPs.

Lutyens' Delhi, as it has come to be known, is one of the capital's heritage sites and there is opposition to convert it.

The BBC article ends with "The issue has now reached the Indian prime minister's office. " which sounds like "The Quizmaster's decision is final".
