AICC general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra today vacated the Lutyens' Delhi bungalow that had been allotted to her on security grounds, handing over its possession to the Central Public Works Department.
The Centre had issued a notice asking her to vacate the house since it had been allotted to her on account of being a protectee of the Special Protection Group. But since she was no longer in the list of people secured by the elite security corps, she was asked to vacate the house by August 1.

Vadra will be residing in temporary accommodation until a more permanent accommodation in Delhi rented by her is ready for use.
The house has been allotted to BJP MP Anil Baluni, who heads the party's media department.
Vadra handed over the keys of 35, Lodhi Estate, to CPWD officials after a full inspection established that the house was handed over in good condition. The CPWD has issued her a 'Vacation Report' for the premises.
According to a statement issued by the Congress, Vadra has also passed on to the CPWD and the Directorate of Estates, a full inventory of privately installed fittings and fixtures.
The party said Vadra has paid all electricity, water and pending dues and is awaiting the final assessment for the licence fee of July from the Directorate of Estates due to her on July 31, to close all accounts with reference to the allotment and subsequent cancellation of the lease of the government bungalow.
