New Delhi: Nearly 40 former Lok Sabha MPs have not still vacated their official bungalows in Lutyens’ Delhi, prompting authorities to start issuing eviction orders under the amended Public Premises (Eviction of Unauthorised Occupants) Act, sources said.
The amended law empowers government to issue a show-cause notice, seeking reply of the unauthorised occupants within three days, the duration reduced from 15 days, as mandated under the previous law.
“41 ex-MPs have not yet vacated their official bungalows. Authorities have started issuing eviction orders to them,” one of the sources said.
On August 19, the Lok Sabha Housing Committee headed by CR Patil ordered around 200 ex-MPs, who did not vacate their bungalows, to give up the facility within a week and disconnected power, water and cooking gas connections to the residences within three days.
Since the order, most of the ex-MPs have vacated their official bungalows, but 41 former MPs are yet to do so.
According to the rules, former MPs have to vacate their bungalows within a month of dissolution of the previous Lok Sabha.
President Ram Nath Kovind on May 25 dissolved the 16th Lok Sabha with immediate effect on the recommendation of the Union Cabinet after the Modi government was formed for a second term.

Indian custom is to catch their air, pulled them out and gives a good bang.
These Hon: ***holes should be taken to custody and pay up the rent with penalty of unauthorised occupation of Government property. The list of these MPs must be published as an advertisements in all national and regional news papers showing which political party they belong too.
What is so hard about it? Once they leave the seat of MP, going by their past personal history, they are lower than a very ordinary citizen. Treat them so. Throw their belongings on to the curb and lock the door. That’s being done with it. Shameless people; leaches clinging on to the society.
Publish their names and shame them
Approach SC to get an order debarring them from contesting.
Throw them out unceremoniously. They are nation looters.
Agreed.
