SaralnamaThe construction of new MLA quarters in Bhopal is delayed as three senior legislators refuse to vacate their old homes. The ₹130 crore project, launched, aims to build larger 3BHK houses. Despite multiple notices, former Speaker Girish Gautam and MLAs Hemant Katare and Dawar haven't moved out. This holds up the demolition of 126 old quarters. The assembly gave the construction agency an 18-month deadline, but work can't start until all units are empty. Most MLAs and staff have moved, but these three continue to occupy multiple units. The delay may increase project costs. To help, MLAs can contact the assembly office to arrange their move. (Updated 23 Oct 2025, 04:33 IST; source: link)
