Delhi ex-MPs told to vacate official bungalows or have utilities cut off

About 200 grand bungalows in Lutyens zone are still occupied by former MPs

They will not have their belongings thrown out on to the road - not yet - but Indian former MPs who lost their seats at the last election have been told that if they fail to vacate their official bungalows within a week, the gas, electricity and water will be cut off.

About 200 grand bungalows in the heart of Delhi, part of an area built as the capital of the British Raj, are still occupied by ex-MPs who should have left the residences within a month of the last parliament being dissolved on 25 May.
