Jinxed Sham Nath Marg Bungalow to be Demolished for New Office Complex

• A colonial-era bungalow at 33, Sham Nath Marg, considered "jinxed" in political circles, is slated for demolition.
• The property, dating back to the 1920s, was originally intended as the Delhi chief minister's official residence but has been largely unused for over two decades.
• Past occupants, including Chaudhary Brahm Prakash and Madan Lal Khurana, left office prematurely, fueling the "jinxed" reputation.
• Sheila Dikshit avoided living there, and the last full-time occupant, Deep Chand Bandhu, died in 2003.
• The government plans to redevelop the site into a new office complex to optimize land use and meet current administrative needs.
