Flying High

At the Central Public Works Department’s 170th annual day on July 12, the Indian Air Force headquarters, Vayu Bhawan, in Delhi is set to be named the best maintained government building in the country.

A five-star rated energy efficient building, Vayu Bhawan won the award in 2020 as well. It is learnt that the new Parliament and Vice President’s Enclave, the two Central Vista projects that were completed last year, were not considered for the award as it is too early to judge their maintenance levels.

Special Fare

Arvind Sawant, third-time Lok Sabha MP and leader of Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray), served a spicy breakfast of ‘misal pav’ to mediapersons at his official residence in the Capital earlier this week. Sawant, who represents Mumbai South constituency, especially flew in Mumbai’s distinct pav (bread) made by small, local bakeries there. While Sawant shirked away from discussions on the INDIA bloc’s strategy for the upcoming Budget session, he insisted the focus should remain on enjoying the food.
