Delhi Government Plans to Partner with Hotel Chains for Former CM's Civil Lines BungalowPreviousNext

The Delhi government plans to develop former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's official residence at 6 Flagstaff Road, known as 'Sheesh Mahal,' into a state guest house and cultural center. Officials are exploring partnerships with top hotel chains or hospitality operators to professionally manage the property, allowing it to host government events and generate revenue through private bookings when not in official use. The adjacent unfinished camp office will also be completed for meetings and conferences.
