In a decision that could spark fresh political protests from Delhi’s ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Lieutenant Governor V.K. Saxena today approved the appointment of several officials of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi. According to official sources, the appointment was made through open advertisement in accordance with the due process and the selection committee made the selection based on the pre-set criteria and weightage given in the interview. However, the ruling AAP and the opposition BJP are known to have repeatedly clashed over various issues including the appointment of officials.

A senior Raj Niwas official told PTI that the LG has approved the appointment of three additional Deputy Commissioners/Joint Assessors and Collectors and 19 Administrative Officers/Assistant Assessors and Collectors in the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD).
