Bill in LS to facilitate speedy eviction from govt residences

New Delhi: In a bid to crackdown on unauthorised occupants of government residential accommodations, a bill was introduced in Lok Sabha on Monday.

The Public Premises (Eviction of Unauthorised Occupants) Amendment Bill, 2019 was introduced by Urban Development Hardeep Singh Puri.

The amendments will facilitate smooth and speedy eviction of unauthorised occupants from government residences which will then be available for allotment to eligible persons on maturity of their turn in the waiting list.

According to the government, the move will decrease the waiting time for availing the facility of residential accommodation.
