Priyanka Gandhi asked to vacate Delhi government bungalow by August 1
Ministry cites that she no longer has Special Protection Group security
New Delhi: Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has been asked to vacate her government accommodation in Delhi by August 1 with a government notice stating that her allotment stands cancelled from today.
In a letter to Priyanka Gandhi, the directorate of estates under the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs asked her to vacate the bungalow on Lodi Road as she no longer has Special Protection Group security.
“Consequent upon withdrawal of SPG protection and grant of Z+ security cover by Ministry of Home Affairs, which does not have provision for allotment/retention of government accommodation on security grounds to you, the allotment of Type 6B house number 35, Lodhi Estate, New Delhi, is hereby cancelled with effect from July 1. One month concessional period on the same rent up to August 1 is allowed as per rules,” said the ministry’s notice.
“It is, therefore, advised to vacate the house on or before August 1. Any stay beyond August 1 will attract damage charges/penal rent as per rules,” the directorate of estates added.
