In a letter to Delhi Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar
The Delhi government's vigilance department has served a notice to senior IAS officer Udit Prakash Rai for the construction of an official accommodation following the demolition of a 15th-century monument during his tenure as DJB's chief executive officer.
Although Udit Prakash Rai, former CEO, is currently serving in Mizoram in a different capacity, his family continues to live in the newly constructed bungalow where once stood a 'Pathan-period' Mahal constructed in 1418.
