OFFICE MEMORANDUM
sub: Conversion of bungalows in LBZ area into memorials.
The undersigned is directed to say that the bungalow type
accommodation in General Pool is exclusively meant for allotment
to the Members of Union council of Ministers, Chief Justice of
India and other Judges of the Supreme Court and to other
dignitaries. The question of conversion of bungalows in LBZ
area into memorials for the departed leaders was under
consideration of the Government. No guidelines/criteria to be
followed for such allotment has been prescribed. Though Govt.
normally does not favour conversion of bugalows into memorials
after the demise of the departed leaders, Govt. bungalows have
been converted into memorials of the departed leaders in the
past keeping in view the public service rendered by them to the
nation.
2. The matter has now been considered by the Government and it
has now been decided to impose a total ban on the conversion of
Govt. bungalows into memorials of the departed leaders in
future.
