**Jagdeep Dhankhar Still Awaiting Official Residence Post-Resignation**
Former Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar, who stepped down from his position on July 21 due to health concerns, has yet to receive an official residence, according to sources close to him. Following his resignation, which coincided with the start of the Monsoon Session of Parliament, Dhankhar vacated the Vice President’s Enclave in September and relocated to a private farmhouse in Chhatarpur, South Delhi.
The farmhouse, located in the Gadaipur area, is owned by INLD leader Abhay Chautala. On August 22, Dhankhar formally requested the Secretary of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs for an official residence designated for former vice presidents. However, as of now, he has not been allocated the accommodation he is entitled to.
As a former vice president, Dhankhar is eligible for a monthly pension of nearly Rs 2 lakh, along with a type VIII bungalow, a personal secretary, an additional personal secretary, a personal assistant, a physician, a nursing officer, and four personal attendants. In the event of a former vice president’s passing, their spouse is entitled to a smaller type VII residence.
The delay in providing Dhankhar with his official residence raises questions about the protocols in place for former high-ranking officials and their entitlements.
