50 ex-MPs yet to vacate official bungalows

New Delhi: Around 50 ex-MPs are yet to vacate their official bungalows in Lutyens' Delhi, even five months after the dissolution of the previous Lok Sabha. According to sources, the government is contemplating taking action against them under the amended Public Premises (Eviction of Unauthorised Occupants) Act, which ensures swift eviction.

The amended law empowers government to issue showcause notice, seeking reply of unauthorised occupants within three days, the duration reduced from 15 days, as mandated under the previous law.

"Around 50 former Lok Sabha MPs have not still vacated their official bungalows located in Lutyens' Delhi," sources said.
