Delhi Lt Guv meets Prez, discusses implementation of Centre's ordinance

While the ruling AAP in Delhi is preparing for a showdown with the Centre on the latest ordinance on the administrative services in the national capital, Delhi's Lt Governor Saxena met President Draupadi Murmu and discussed the modalities for the implementation of the new ordinance.

New Delhi : Lieutenant Governor of Delhi V K Saxena met President Draupadi Murmu on Monday after the Central government promulgated an ordinance to create the National Capital Civil Services Authority (NCCSA). LG Saxena reached Rashtrapati Bhavan after receiving an invitation. According to sources, they discussed the implementation of the new ordinance and improving Delhi's administrative system.

According to reliable sources, both the President and the Lieutenant Governor discussed extensively what steps should be taken for the welfare of the people of Delhi and to ensure that civic amenities in the capital are enhanced and delivered on time. The President informed about the details of the meeting through a post from the official Twitter handle of Rashtrapati Bhavan.

At the same time, the Lieutenant Governor also expressed his happiness by tweeting that he received guidelines from the President on many subjects. Significantly, on May 11, the Supreme Court had given a decision that the administrative system of Delhi should be the responsibility of the Delhi government. Soon after getting the right to transfer the officers, the Delhi government issued orders for many transfers. LG did not approve these transfers.

There was a tussle between the Delhi government and the LG regarding this. In the meantime, the Central government overturned the decision of the Supreme Court by bringing this ordinance. Since then, the tension between the Delhi Government and the Central Government has further increased. It has remained a contentious issue ever since the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Government started asserting its rights as an elected government to have control over the administrative services in Delhi, which happens to be the national capital.
