Administration Asked Me To Vacate Official Bungalow, Says Mehbooba Mufti

The former chief minister was served with the eviction notice earlier this week.

Srinagar:

The Jammu and Kashmir administration has asked PDP president Mehbooba Mufti to vacate her official bungalow in the high-security Gupkar area in Jammu and Kashmir.

The former chief minister was served with the eviction notice earlier this week.

"The notice to evict from the Fair View was served to me a few days ago. This has not come as a surprise and is along the expected lines," Mehbooba told PTI.

She said although the notice mentioned that the bungalow where she lives was meant for the chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir, that is not the case.

"This place was allowed to my father (Mufti Mohammad Sayeed) in December 2005 after he relinquished the office of the chief minister. So, the grounds taken by the administration are not correct," she added.

Mehbooba has been living in the Gupkar area since December 2005.

Asked if she will challenge the notice in a court of law, the PDP chief said she will consult her legal team.

"I don't own a place where I can live. So, I have to consult my legal team before making a decision," Mehbooba said.

Another former chief minister and National Conference leader Omar Abdullah vacated the official bungalow on the Gupkar road in 2020 even before the administration issued an eviction notice to him.

The change in entitlements for former chief ministers in the wake of the abrogation of Article 370 and the reorganization of Jammu and Kashmir into two Union territories meant that they could not continue to live in the official residences provided to them in the erstwhile state.

Senior PDP leader Naeem Akhtar also had to vacate his Gupkar house after the change in the Constitution.

Several politicians, including former ministers, continue to live in government bungalows and houses in Jammu and Kashmir though.

"Jaiswal Has Run Ahead Of Gill": Ex-India Star's Massive T20 WC Verdict

By
Former India opener Aakash Chopra has suggested that Yashasvi Jaiswal is slightly ahead of Shubman Gill in the pecking order as captain Rohit Sharma's partner at the top in T20Is. Since making his debut last year, Jaiswal has been in stunning form in the shortest format of the game. Gill's form, on the other hand, has dipped since the ODI World Cup last year in India. With the T20 World Cup scheduled to be held later this year, Chopra feels Jaiswal will open the innings with Rohit during the tournament. "It's clear that Yashasvi Jaiswal has run ahead of Shubman Gill. Yashasvi is ahead in the two-horse race, Gill is lagging slightly behind. Gill was played in the first match, dropped in the second, and wasn't played in the third as well," Chopra said on his YouTube channel. Jaiswal helped India beat Afghanistan in the second T20I earlier this week, scoring a quickfire fifty. Considering his recent form across formats, Chopra emphasised that Jaiswal has ...
