The Directorate of Vigilance (DoV) has issued show-cause notices to seven Public Works Department (PWD) officials in connection with the renovation of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s official residential complex at 6, Flagstaff Road, Civil Lines.
Delhi BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva welcomed the development.
A total of ₹52.71 crore was spent on CM’s official residence, as per a DoV report commissioned by Lieutenant-Governor V.K. Saxena.
The DoV was asked to investigate the renovation project by the L-G after he took note of media reports about the work on the CM house.
In the notices sent to the chief engineers and other officials concerned, the DoV has sought an explanation about the “gross violation of general financial rules, CPWD manual and CVC guidelines”.
It stated that the previous CM residence was demolished by the PWD without a proper survey and that the new building was constructed without a sanctioned building plan.
