Click to play videoNew Delhi: He was the no-nonsense IAS officer, the man who as Chief Secretary took on the then Bihar Governor Buta Singh after he arbitrarily transferred 17 senior IPS officers.
Now, retired from service, G S Kang is fighting another battle- a lone battle to reoccupy his house near Chandigarh.
“My problem is that my wife owns a house- house number 100, Sector 7, Panchkula, It was rented out to Haryana government sometime in 1991 with an understanding that in one month's time the house will be vacated. The house has not been vacated till now though we had given them the notice in August, 2006,” says Kang.
Kang says he urgently needs to get back the house because his wife is suffering from a severe spinal condition and cannot be shunted out of one rented house to another once she is operated upon.
But the government official occupying the house, Brigadier N L Punia, who is chairman of Haryana Staff Selection Commission, has no immediate plans to move out.
“That is up to the government to decide. I have made a request to the government that they kindly let me stay here till March because my grand children are back from US and they are studying here. It will involve total disruption in their place of work and schooling,” says Brigadier Punia.
Even Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda seems reluctant to help Kang.
“The government is paying the rent. If the government doesn't pay the rent then it would be a problem. The case has been considered,” says Hooda.
Hooda claims that everyone in his state gets justice, but the former chief secretary is running from pillar to post to get his own house vacated.
And all he is getting is one excuse after the other, leaving him and his ailing wife practically homeless.
