Government accommodation will be provided to private persons from the security point of view only if they are under the cover of the Special Protection Group (SPG), Minister of State for Urban Development Babul Supriyo said in a written reply in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday.
“A special licence fee shall be charged for such accommodation. The security protectees will not be required to surrender their own houses in Delhi in lieu of allocation of government accommodation,” Supriyo said.
