Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal expressed on Thursday that if the engagement of specialists and advisers is halted, it will have a detrimental impact on the services of the Delhi government. This comes after Lt Governor VK Saxena approved the release of 400 specialists working with the Delhi government. He asked in a tweet for the Supreme Court to overturn this decision. Saxena terminated the employment of these specialists due to alleged recruitment irregularities. The Services Department then issued an order to all departments, agencies, and boards of the government to cease engagement of fellows, advisers, specialists, senior research officers, and consultants without the LG’s approval. The Finance Department was also instructed to not release salaries to those engaged without the LG’s approval.
