Gujarat MLAs get brand new apts worth ₹247 crore, over 1,000 cops wait for houses
The Members of Legislative Assembly (MLAs) of Gandhinagar, Gujarat, have been allotted three-bedroom hall kitchen (3BHK) residences, while as many as 1,061 police personnel in the state capital are on the waiting list for accommodation.
The original budget for these MLA apartments was ₹247 crore – ₹203 crore for the houses and ₹80 crore for the interiors – but it has now increased to ₹310 crore, due to the increased price of the building accessories.
On the other hand, a Right to Information (RTI) query filed with the Superintendent of Police, Gandhinagar, revealed that a total of 1,061 police personnel are awaiting allotment of government residential houses at the police headquarters in Gandhinagar district.
This information was provided by the Public Information Officer and Deputy Superintendent of Police, Gandhinagar.
The list of officials awaiting accommodation in the capital include cops from district police, RM police personnel in security, intelligence department, and staff at the police buildings, according to sources.
