The Moradabad administration has ordered the Samajwadi Party to vacate its 31-year-old district office bungalow, originally allotted to Mulayam Singh Yadav, citing lack of legal renewal post his demise.
Moradabad:
The district administration of Moradabad has issued a notice to the Samajwadi Party (SP), directing it to vacate its district office within 30 days, citing the cancellation of the official allotment of the government bungalow the party currently occupies. The property, Bungalow No. 4, located in the Chakkar Ki Milak area opposite the Police Training College in the Civil Lines area, was originally allotted to the late SP supremo and former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav in 1994.
Bungalow allotment cancelled after 31 years
According to officials, the bungalow spans nearly 1,000 square yards and had been allotted for Rs 350. After his death, no formal procedure was initiated by the party to transfer the allotment in its name
Now, citing the absence of any legal allotment or renewal, the current District Magistrate Anuj Kumar Singh has ordered the cancellation of the allotment, stating that the use of a government-owned building by a political party without valid authorisation is untenable.
By the DM’s orders, the Additional District Magistrate (Finance) has sent a formal eviction notice to SP’s Moradabad district president, Jayveer Singh Yadav, instructing him to vacate the premises and hand over its possession to the district administration within a month.
