As per the existing provisions, employees are required to vacate their allotted quarters within two months of separation from service. However, 133 quarters continue to remain under unauthorized occupation, with some occupants retaining possession for periods ranging from 3 to 20 years. During this period, essential utilities such as electricity and water have also continued to be availed of in these premises.

The prolonged unauthorized occupation of company quarters has emerged as a significant concern, particularly as several of these accommodations belong to higher-grade categories and are urgently required for allotment to serving employees awaiting company accommodation.

Despite earlier efforts involving legal proceedings, including the filing of Public Premises (PP) cases, issuance of formal notices and persuasion through Town Services, the recovery of these quarters remained a challenge. Taking serious note of the matter, RSP management has now launched an intensified and coordinated drive to ensure the recovery of all quarters under unauthorized occupation.

A dedicated task force led by the Head of Town Services, and police personnel, is visiting the premises to facilitate their vacation and recovery by the company. The intensified efforts have already yielded encouraging results, with approximately 15 quarters recovered in less than a month.

The drive reflects RSP’s firm commitment to ensuring the proper utilisation of company accommodation and making it available to eligible serving employees. The recovery operation will continue until all quarters under unauthorized occupation are vacated and restored to the company for allotment to deserving employees.
