Vacate official accommodation: India tells UNMOGI

New Delhi, July 8 (IBNS): India on Tuesday asked UN Military Observers Group on India and Pakistan (UNMOGIP) to vacate the bungalows provided by the government in New Delhi.

"Yes, I can confirm that we have asked the UNMOGIP to vacate a government bungalow which was provided to them free of charge," Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Syed Akbaruddin said on Tuesday.

"And this is in line with our effort to rationalise UMOGIP’s presence in India. As part of this exercise we have also monetised various other facilities that were being provided to UNMOGIP free of cost till now. In that context we have communicated to them," he said.

Akbaruddin said he UNMOGIP has outlived its relevance.

Speaking on the issue of deadline given to them to vacate the bungalows, he said: "We have indicated to them that we would like the house vacated. As is normal, these are diplomatic communications and in diplomacy you are aware that these things are worked out quietly behind the scenes. Once it is worked out we will let you know. It is a decision that we have taken that they will need to vacate."
