Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Defence Offices Complexes at Kasturba Gandhi Marg and Africa Avenue in New Delhi.
These modern offices built at KG Marg and Africa Avenue will go a long way in effectively carrying out all the work related to the security of the nation.
The work of the Defense Office Complex which was to be completed in 24 months has been completed in a record time of just 12 months. These Defence Office Complexes are constructed in 13 acre land parcels unlike earlier times when five times more land was used for similar complexes.
The new Defence Offices Complexes will accommodate around 7,000 officials from the Ministry of Defence and the Armed Forces, including Army, Navy and Air Force.
The buildings will provide modern, secure and functional working spaces. An Integrated Command and Control Centre has been established for managing building operations, while also catering to the end-to-end safety and surveillance of both the buildings.
The new Defence Office Complexes are state-of-the-art and energy-efficient, with comprehensive security management measures. One of the defining features of these buildings is the use of new and sustainable construction technology called light gauge steel frame (LGSF).
