A colonial-era bungalow in Delhi, infamous for being 'jinxed', is set to be demolished and replaced with a new office complex.
The two-storey structure, built in the 1920s, has remained largely unoccupied for over two decades, with officials citing its reputation as the reason.
The building's long-standing reputation contributed to its underutilisation, with many ministers, legislators, and senior officers reluctant to occupy it.
Originally intended as the official residence of Delhi's chief minister, the property features a spacious front lawn with fountains, a large living and drawing area, an outhouse, and seven staff quarters.
Despite its prime location, the bungalow has been used intermittently for official events, but never returned to regular use.
The redevelopment plan aims to put the prime land parcel to functional use by constructing a modern office building.
