The Directorate of Estates under the Union Housing and Urban Affairs Ministry on Wednesday sent a team to evict the family of the late Union Minister Ram Vilas Paswan from 12, Janpath, the bungalow he had lived in from 1989 till his death in 2020, according to sources aware of the development.
Over three decades since the Paswan family moved into the government-allotted accommodation and eight months after an eviction notice was issued, the house was being emptied out by the Directorate of Estates as on Wednesday evening, with the process likely to go on till late night, according to a Ministry official.
The bungalow had not only served as the late Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) founder’s residence, but also the party’s office since it was founded in 2000. Paswan’s son, Jamui MP Chirag Paswan, had been trying to establish a museum in his father’s honour at the house.
