NEW DELHI: Gearing up to receive newly-elected Members, Lok Sabha secretariat has virtually rolled out the red carpet for them. Extensive arrangement to render all possible assistance to the newly-elected MPs has been made, Lok Sabha , Secretary General P Sreedharan told reporters.
He said that elaborate arrangements have been made so that they (MPs) do not face any inconvenience after their arrival in the capital. Six guide posts have been set up at IGI airport and at New Delhi, Old Delhi and Nizamuddin railway stations to help MPs.
Guide posts will be operational from May 16 to 21 and these will also function during the initial three days of the first session of the 16th Lok Sabha, Sreedharan said.
As far as accommodation is concerned, arrangements have been made for new members to stay in their respective guest houses and state/UT Bhawan and also at Hotel Ashoka.
Directorate of Estate and House Committee after its constitution will take care of MPs’ need for accommodation on permanent basis, he said.
Outgoing MPs are expected to vacate their houses and flats for the newly-elected members.
Those who do not get re-elected can retain their houses for a month, but after that they will have to vacate, Sreedharan said.
