NCCSA clears posting of 8 officials in Capital
Hindustan Times
|September 21, 2023
The National Capital Civil Services Authority (NCCSA), chaired by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, on Wednesday recommended posting of eight Indian Administrative Services (IAS) officers, a decision that is expected to fill a major gap in the administrative machinery since several departments of the Delhi government were running without a head or a senior official for long, people aware of the matter said.
It was only the third meeting of the authority which was constituted in June under the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Act, 2023.
According to officials, the eight officers who were cleared for posting in the government include Lakshya Singhal (2019), Yash Chaudhary (2017), Pankaj Kumar (2012), Vinod P Kavle (2008), Ajay K Bisht (2011), Rishita Gupta (2019), and Anil Kumar Singh (2011).
The officials said that the departments assigned to these officers belonging to the Arunachal Pradesh, Goa, Mizoram, Union Territory (AGMUT) cadre will be known only after the final notification by the office of the lieutenant governor.
The authority also recommended disciplinary action against eight officials of the Delhi government in different cases, including Delhi Assembly secretary Raj Kumar in a case related to alleged irregularities in giving compensation for acquisition of land for the construction of Rani Jhansi flyover in north Delhi, the officials quoted above said.
