On August 8th, the Social Justice Department in Bhopal terminated Sewa Bharti's contract to manage the state's first paid old age home, Sandhya Chaaya. The decision was made as Sewa Bharti failed to run the facility in a proper manner. The department gave Sewa Bharti a two-month notice before terminating the contract. Now, the department is in talks with MP Tourism Development Corporation to operate the facility instead.
The proposed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) would allow unoccupied rooms to be rented out commercially, and elderly residents would be given priority in room allotments. However, Sewa Bharti had been struggling to meet the contract's conditions, including paying rent for all rooms regardless of occupancy, failing to pay rent on time, and raising issues over malfunctioning air conditioners and the quality of construction.
Despite the air conditioners functioning well at the time of contract renewal, Sewa Bharti insisted on paying rent only for occupied rooms and delayed payment of electricity bills.
