A colonial-era bungalow in Civil Lines, Delhi, built in the 1920s, is set to be demolished after standing empty for over 20 years. The property, known as Bungalow No. 33, has been avoided by politicians and bureaucrats due to its reputation as 'unlucky' and 'haunted.' Despite its prime location, no senior official has been willing to occupy it, leading the Delhi government to decide on its redevelopment. Plans include constructing a modern office complex for the Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) as the city currently lacks a dedicated facility. The existing structure would require substantial modifications for office use, making demolition a more practical choice. The bungalow's troubled history includes early occupants facing controversies and abrupt exits, further entrenching its negative reputation. Previous attempts to allocate the property have failed, reinforcing its status as a vacant site in the capital.
