South Block Conservation and Retrofitting to Begin as PMO Relocates

South Block Conservation and Retrofitting to Begin as PMO Relocates

The Prime Minister's Office (PMO) is moving out of its current home in South Block.

This old building, along with its neighbor North Block, is going to be turned into a big new museum called the Yuge Yugeen Bharat National Museum.

Because the PMO is leaving, workers can finally start fixing up South Block.

They will clean its old sandstone walls, remove newer additions, and make sure it's safe and strong while keeping its historic look.

This is all part of a larger plan to change the city center.

North Block is already being worked on, and other new government buildings are being built nearby.

The work on South Block is expected to take about two years.
