BIHAR AND RAJASTHAN OCCUPYING ALMOST
DOUBLE THE GENERAL POOL ACCOMMODATION
Central Government
allots residential accommodation for the use of state government
servants in Delhi. Under the existing guidelines, each state government
gets 6 and Union Territory governments 3 general pool residential
accommodations on payment of normal licence fee. However, the
incumbent of the post of Resident Commissioner of State/Union
Territory Government would be allotted government accommodation
for a period of one year irrespective of the number of units allotted
to the concerned State Government. As of now, the government of
Bihar is in possession of 11, Government of Rajasthan 12, Government
of West Bengal and Sikkim 8 accommodation each. While the Government
of Jharkhand and Orissa are occupying 7 units, rest of the State
Governments have been allotted 6 units or less.
This information
was given by Minister of State for Urban Development and Poverty
Alleviation, Shri Pon. Radhakrishnan in a written reply to the
question of Shri Salkhan Murmu in Lok Sabha today.
