HC temporarily stays NRTI building construction near heritage property
In September, Vadodara Lok Sabha MP Ranjan Bhatt had appealed to the Ministry of Railways on the floor of the Parliament that the NRTI building should be constructed in any other place that is owned by the Railways, and not on the heritage property.

THE GUJARAT High Court on Wednesday directed the government authorities to halt, for the time, any further construction on the proposed multi-storey building at Raja Baug Garden in Vadodara, which overlooks the Pratap Vilas Palace, a heritage property. The direction came during the hearing of a public interest litigation (PIL) moved by eight petitioners, including the Vadodara-based Heritage Trust.
