Congress gets final eviction notices for Akbar Road, Raisina Road offices
New Delhi (PTI): The Congress party has received notices from the Estate department to vacate its 24, Akbar road office and 5, Raisina Road premises in Lutyens Delhi by March 28, according to sources.
The party faces eviction of its old party office, which it has held since 1978, as this is the final notice sent by the estate department.
The party continues to have its headquarters at its Akbar Road office, while the Indian Youth Congress functions from the Raisina Road premises.
The sources said that the notice was delivered a few days and has not even given a week's time to the grand old party.
Sources in the party said the Congress is yet to formulate its strategy on the issue and may even approach court in view of the sudden notice.
The Congress has already constructed its new party office at Indira Bhawan.
While the party did not say anything officially, Congress MP Karti Chidambaram said the government should apply its rule uniformly to all and not single it out.

EC probing glitch that marked all Bengal voters 'under adjudication': official
Kolkata (PTI): The Election Commission is examining the cause of a technical glitch that briefly showed all voters in West Bengal as "under adjudication", an official said on Wednesday.
The problem came to light on Tuesday night when voters attempting to access their details on the EC website using their EPIC numbers found their status marked as "under adjudication", even in cases where names were already included in the final electoral rolls.
"The issue was noticed on Tuesday night and was caused by a technical error, possibly related to the server or backend integration. It has since been rectified, and we are probing the cause behind it," the EC official said.
The glitch occurred less than 24 hours after the EC released the first supplementary list of voters around midnight on Monday.
"At one point, the system erroneously reflected that all electors in the state were under adjudication. This was not the case, and it was purely a display error," the official said.
The development prompted sharp reactions from the ruling TMC, which alleged that the error had effectively put the entire electorate under suspicion.
The party claimed on social media that even valid voters were being shown as "under adjudication" despite their cases being resolved or their names being present in the final rolls.
"We regret the inconvenience caused to voters. The technical teams acted swiftly, and the issue was resolved within approximately two hours," the official said.
