Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal postponed to July 14 a meeting of the National Capital Civil Services Authority (NCCSA) which was originally scheduled for Friday.
A communication from Chief Minister’s Office to the NCCSA secretary and principal secretary (home) of the Delhi government said the chief minister would not be able to convene the meeting of Authority on July 7 due to some exigencies.
It said the chief minister has rescheduled the meeting on July 14 at his camp office. Officials said the agenda of the Friday meeting was capacity building of officers and some transfer/posting of DASS cadre grade one officials.
The AAP has challenged the ordinance in the Supreme Court that fixed July 10 as date of hearing of the matter. Top sources said that the minutes of the previous meeting are yet to be approved. After June 29 meeting Kejriwal had issued several crucial directives pertaining to pending transfer-posting proposals.
“A total of eleven women officers had requested transfers on sympathetic grounds. Chief Minister supported these requests, stating that working women handle work at both the office and home, and therefore their requests must be considered favorably on sympathetic grounds.
Both the bureaucrats — the Chief Secretary and Principal Secretary (Home) — did not oppose the Chief Minister’s stand during the meeting. However, while finalising the minutes of the meeting, the bureaucrats callously overturned all decisions of the Chief Minister, proceeding with their own agenda instead,” it said.
The Delhi Government said NCCSA has been reduced to a farce with bureaucrats dictating their own will and overturning Chief Minister’s decisions.
