Four Crores pending against Unauthorised Occupants of Govt. quarters
in Bhubaneswar, Capital of Odisha
Housing is a major problem in
Bhubaneswar. In order to ensure housing of its employees, the State Govt.  has made a policy of providing Govt.
quarters  to  accommodate all category of officers  employees 
in the capital.  But due to
absence of adequate quarters, many Govt. employees are not getting quarters,
though they are entitled to get it. But astonishingly, a large number of
retired Govt. employees have occupied Govt. 
quarters unauthorisedly and illegally   for years together due to their nexus with
top officials causing huge revenue loss to state exchequer.  The State Govt. has not taken any steps to
vacate the quarters. 
On 22.6.17, I had filed RTI
Application to the PIO, Dept. of GA & PG( Rent), Govt. of Odisha  seeking 
information about details of  quarters
unauthorisedly occupied  by  ex-Govt. employees, former MLAs, Individuals,
Govt. employees  and pending of rent
amount  against them.  On 3.7.17, the PIO has provided the following
information. 
1.      
Total No. of 181 of ex-employees, officers and Govt. employees have
illegally occupied Govt. quarters in Bhubaneswar. Total amount of 4,07,43,524.00 of  quarter rent  
is pending against them.   
2.      
Most of the ex-Govt employees, though they have got retired have been
unauthorisedly occupying Govt. quarters since 2010 without paying a singly pie
towards rent of Quarter. 
3.      
3. Most of the ex- employees who have illegally occupied  Govt. quarters are   officers in the rank of Section officer,
Deputy Director,  under secretary,
additional secretary, , Zamadar, police officers, Junior clerck, Pump driver,
peon etc. 
4.       Prominent
ex-employees and officers who have occupied Govt. quarters are as follows.
