Delhi Planning Minister Atishi Declares LG's Order Rescinding DDCD Members 'Null and Void'

Delhi Planning Minister Atishi has declared an order from the Services Department and Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena to rescind non-official members of the DDCD as null and void, citing a lack of jurisdiction. Despite the LG's order to temporarily dissolve the DDCD, Atishi insists the non-official members will continue in their roles.

Delhi Planning Minister Atishi has deemed an order issued by the Services Department and Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena, which aimed to rescind non-official members from the Dialogue and Development Commission of Delhi (DDCD), to be 'null and void' due to lack of jurisdiction.

Despite the Lieutenant Governor's directive to temporarily dissolve the DDCD, Atishi orders that the non-official members should continue their duties. The minister stressed that the Services Department and the LG overstepped their bounds, claiming misuse of authority.

Atishi's directive, distributed to key government officials, emphasized that the DDCD falls under the exclusive executive authority of the elected Delhi government, specifically the Chief Minister who holds the sole power to appoint or remove non-official members.
