Delhi Government had recently asked former Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit to pay up Rs. 3.25 lakh as rent for overstaying in her official bungalow, and had it initiated the process to vacate official residences still under possession of the two former Congress ministers.
The PWD had asked former Congress ministers Kiran Walia, Arvinder Singh Lovely and Harun Yusuf to pay Rs. 5.8 lakh, 6.5 lakh and 2.9 lakh respectively as rent decided on the basis of market rates.
Meanwhile, the PWD has forwarded a file to the Lt Governor seeking an extension of the 3 months stay period to 8 months after resignation or retirement.
The proposal has been cleared by the law, finance and PWD departments of Delhi government.
