In October this year, 27 eminent personalities, including artists, dancers and musicians were sent notices from the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, to vacate their Government allotted accommodations across Delhi by December 31, “failing which eviction proceeding will be initiated as per Public Premises (Eviction of Unauthorised Occupants) Act”.
