Delhi to Convert Vacant Shamnath Marg Bungalow into Disaster Command Centre
Delhi's Public Works Department plans to convert the historically significant but long-vacant bungalow at 33 Shamnath Marg, known for its reputation as 'jinxed,' into an Integrated Control and Command Centre. Announced by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, the centre aims to manage city disasters. A consultant will be hired to design the project, with a report due in two months. The bungalow has housed several officials, including Delhi's first chief minister, but successive occupants have left or avoided residing there.
