president
Presidential candidate P.A. Sangma alleged that Congress
is using Raisina Hills for dumping unsuccessful finance Minister Pranab
Mukherjee by nominating and supporting him in the
presidential poll.
What is Raisina Hill ?
Raisina Hill is a region of Lutyens'
Delhi, New Delhi, that houses India's mostimportant government buildings, that
includes Rashtrapati Bhavan, the official residence of the President of India
and the Secretariat building that accommodate the Prime Minister's Office and
several other important ministries. Other important buildings and structures,
including the Parliament
of
India, Rajpath, Vijay Chowk and India Gate surround it.
The
name "Raisina Hill" was given following acquirement of land from 300
families
from X and Malcha villages. About 4,000 acres of land was
acquisitioned
under the "1894 Land Acquisition Act" to begin the creation of
the Viceroy's House. The area is slightly raised, about 226 metres (741 ft)high,
or about 18 metres (59 ft) higher than the surrounding area.In 1911 when
British decided to transfer the capital of British India from Calcutta (now
Kolkata) to Delhi, they set up a planning committee, and a site 3 miles (5 km)
south of the existing city of Delhi, around Raisina Hill, was identified
for establishing new administrative centre. The area located b/w the Delhi
Ridge and the Yamuna River, is well drained and provides sufficient space for
expansion.
