NEW DELHI: Amid reports that President Droupadi Murmu can address joint session of both houses in new building, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla has said the President will address the joint sitting of both houses of Parliament in the existing building, putting to rest speculations that it could be held in the new building.

"During Budget Session, the Honourable President will address Members of two Houses in the existing Parliament House Building," Om Birla tweeted.

The Budget Session of Parliament begins on January 31 and the first leg will go on till February 13. The Parliament will re-convene on March 13 and go on till April 6.

The new Parliament building is part of the redevelopment of the Central Vista, the nation's power corridor.

Meanwhile, a couple of actual pictures of the new parliament building were removed from the dedicated website for the entire Central Vista redevelopment project on Friday, citing security reasons.

Revamping the 3-kilometer Rajpath from the Rashtrapati Bhavan to the India Gate, constructing a common central secretariat, a new office and residence of the prime minister, and a new vice-president enclave are also part of the project being executed by the CPWD, which comes under the Union Housing and Urban Affairs Ministry.

Tata Projects is constructing the new Parliament building which will have a grand constitution hall to display India's democratic heritage, a lounge for members of Parliament, multiple committee rooms, a library, dining areas and ample parking space.
