In July 2021, Directorate of Estates served an eviction notice to Paswan’s son and MP Chirag Paswan and other residents to vacate house
The Directorate of Estates (DoE), under the Union Housing and Urban Affairs Ministry, on Wednesday sent a team to empty out 12, Janpath, the bungalow where former Union Minister Ram Vilas Paswan had resided until his death in 2020 and where his family had continued to stay since, according to sources aware of the development.
The bungalow had served as the late Lok Janshakti Party founder’s residence since 1989. In July 2021, the DoE served an eviction notice to Paswan’s son and MP Chirag Paswan and other residents to vacate the house. Mr. Chirag Paswan had been allotted another government accommodation being an MP, an official said.
12, Janpath was allotted to Railways and IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw in August 2021, according to Ministry officials, but had not been handed over to him as it had not been vacated.

Over the decades, the Anglo-Indian Grand Christmas Ball in Chennai has stepped into many venues, from Railway enclaves to private halls. It has left an indelible mark on some of these venues, Faiz Mahal and Shiraz Hall, both in Egmore, counted among them. This Christmas Day (December 25), Faiz Mahal is playing host to yet another Grand Christmas Ball. The soiree is organised by Anglo-Indians but by no means restricted to them. In these times of dwindling Anglo-Indian presence even in enclaves with a distinctive Anglo-Indian flavour, this event signifies an effort to preserve a cultural tradition that has enriched Chennai
