New Delhi: Immediately after Narendra Modi’s swearing-in ceremony, former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Monday shifted to his retirement abode at Motilal Nehru Marg in the heart of the city after staying for 10 years at the official residence of the Prime Minister at 7 Race Course Road.
The 3 Motilal Nehru Road bungalow was all decked up to welcome its new occupant. The former prime minister was accompanied by his wife Gursharan Kaur when he checked into the house after attending the swearing-in ceremony of Mr Modi and his cabinet at the Rashtrapati Bhavan.
Mr Singh’s new address is a spacious Type-VIII bungalow amid a sprawling three-acre plot. The bungalow was completely renovated. Several security features have also been added to the bungalow as per the specifications provided by Special Protection Group (SPG). Mr Singh will enjoy SPG protection although the security cover will be toned down from the days when he was in office.
With the allotment of a Lutyen’s bungalow, Mr Singh and his wife would be entitled to occupy the house for their lifetime.
