Mishra asked to vacate his Civil lines bungalow

Staff Reporter

Delhi Government's Public Works Department (PWD) has issued a notice to former Minister Kapil Mishra, asking him to vacate his Civil lines bungalow "at the earliest".

A senior Government official said that as Mishra was no longer a Minister he was not entitled to such an accommodation. Mishra was removed as Water Minister from the Arvind Kejriwal Government on May 6 over alleged poor water management.

"After being dropped from the Cabinet, he could have retained the Government's bungalow for 15 days. As per rules, he is no longer entitled to a Government bungalow. In view of this, the department has asked Mishra to vacate the accommodation at the earliest," a senior official said on Sunday.

It has been learnt that  PWD Minister Satyendar Jain had a week ago issued a note to the department asking it to get the house vacated at the earliest.

Since he was sacked, Mishra has been continuing with his tirade against AAP's top leadership, including Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

Mishra, MlA from Karawal Nagar Assembly seat, has leveled all sorts of allegations against the AAP leadership after he was sacked from the AAP led Government.
