Neelam Devi, wife of Mokama MLA Anant Singh, has been asked to vacate her government bungalow in Patna by 25 November, 2026. The notice was issued through Bihar's Building Construction Department after her nomination to a state-level programme implementation committee was cancelled with immediate effect.
The government accommodation is located at Mall Road, where Neelam Devi has been allotted residence number one. The department's action follows the withdrawal of the status she held as a committee member and marks the latest step taken against the Singh family after their expulsion from the Janata Dal United.
Why the bungalow notice was issued
According to the department's letter, the residence had been allotted under a departmental office order dated 19 May, 2026. Neelam Devi had received the status of deputy minister as a member of the State-Level Programme Implementation Committee.
Her nomination was later cancelled through Cabinet Secretariat Department notification number 578, dated 26 October, 2026. The cancellation took effect immediately, ending the basis on which the accommodation had been assigned.
The letter refers to Rule 11(2) of the Accommodation Allotment Rules for the Patna Central Pool, 1986. Under that provision, a person may remain in government accommodation for 1 month after the end of the relevant service or appointment.
The department has stated that this permitted period will end on 25 November, 2026. The Joint Secretary-cum-Estate Officer has therefore requested Neelam Devi to vacate the residence by that date.
JDU actions against Anant Singh and Neelam Devi
JDU's first reported action came on 24 October, when the party expelled Anant Singh and Neelam Devi for 6 years over alleged anti-party activities. The source material identifies both of them as having received the same party penalty.
The party then wrote to the Bihar Assembly Speaker about Anant Singh's expulsion. In that communication, JDU informed the Speaker about the party decision and sought cancellation of his membership of the Assembly.
JDU also asked the government to withdraw the status granted to Neelam Devi. That status has now been followed by the government notice concerning her official residence.
The bungalow action is described as the party's third step against the two leaders. Unlike the party expulsion and the communication to the Assembly Speaker, the latest measure concerns the continued use of a government accommodation assigned through a departmental order.
What happens by the deadline
The notice gives Neelam Devi until 25 November, 2026, to leave the Patna residence. The supplied information does not specify any response from Neelam Devi or Anant Singh, or any further decision after the deadline.
The reported sequence now includes JDU's six-year expulsion decision, its request concerning Anant Singh's Assembly membership, the withdrawal of Neelam Devi's deputy minister status and the accommodation notice issued through the Building Construction Department.
Conclusion
Neelam Devi has been directed to vacate her Mall Road government bungalow by 25 November, 2026, after her committee nomination and deputy minister status were cancelled. The notice follows JDU's expulsion action and its request concerning Anant Singh's Assembly membership.
