A top Delhi bureaucrat on Monday found his office locked and another’s appointment was declared void as the turf war between Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and lt-Governor Najeeb Jung turned murkier with both sides showing no signs of any let-up in ending their bitter fight. Principal Secretary (Services) Anindo Majumdar’s office was locked following an order by Chief Minster’s Office on Monday.
When Majumdar reached his office this morning, he found that it had been locked as per the directive from Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s office. Majumdar was removed from the post by Kejriwal on Saturday after he issued the appointment letter to Gamlin, following instructions from Jung. The l-G, on the same evening, had declared the order to transfer Majumdar “void”, saying it did not have his approval.
