New Delhi: New Delhi's much vaunted address 7 Race Course Road will get its newest occupant on Monday night when Narendra Modi will shift to his new official residence barely hours after taking oath as India's 15th prime minister.
From today morning, Mr Modi will be given security cover from the Special Protection Group (SPG) which is an elite group that provides protection to the Prime Minister.
Sources said that Mr Modi will move to the house after he attends a banquet hosted by President Pranab Mukherjee on Monday night at Rashtrapati Bhavan, located some three km away.
The dinner will begin soon after the swearing-in ceremony concludes at the presidential palace.
Outgoing prime minister Manmohan Singh, who has been occupying 7 Race Course Road for the past decade as head of two successive governments, will move out of the house on Monday and will shift to his new residence, at 3 Motilal Nehru Place, sources added.
7 Race Course Road houses five bungalows spread over about 12 acres.
