Chandigarh, August 11    

The Chandigarh Administration has asked the Haryana Government  to investigate as to how the house allotted to Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar’s political advisor Deepak Mangla was given to state BJP chief Subhash Barala. 

Sources said eight big houses belonging  to the Chandigarh Administration in Sector 7 had been  allotted  to the Haryana CM pool. 

These houses are meant for ministers and senior functionaries of the state government.  

An official said once the houses were given under the Chif Minister pool,  it was the responsibility of the  government concerned to check  the eligibility of the persons to whom the houses were allotted. 

The sources said Haryana BJP chief Subhash Barala had been allotted Flat No. 51 in Sector 3, which is meant for an MLA. 

In any case, the  houses meant for ministers  cannot   be allotted to an MLA or the party chief.
