New Delhi, Nov 6: The Central Public Works Department has invited bids to shift utilities from the Vigyan Bhawan Annexe, paving the way for the construction of two new buildings for the Common Central Secretariat as part of the Central Vista redevelopment plan.

The new buildings for the Common Central Secretariat are likely to come up at the old residence of the vice president and the Vigyan Bhawan Annexe plot.

In its tender document, the CPWD said the proposed work includes redevelopment work, underground water tanks and pump rooms, external development works, designing of foundation, civil structure and electrical and mechanical work.
