'Officials became thick-skinned in 10 yrs'
NEW DELHI: Delhi government officials have become "thick-skinned" in the past 10 years and they will be made to sweat in the field to burn their fat, PWD minister Parvesh Verma said on Friday while ordering the suspension of an engineer over poor drain desilting.
Expressing displeasure over no work being done to clean a drain near the Akshardham Temple in Patparganj, Verma ordered the suspension of the PWD executive engineer.
His remarks came a day after Assembly Speaker Vijender Gupta wrote to Chief Secretary Dharmendra over Delhi government officials allegedly not responding to letters, phone calls or messages by MLAs.
During a field visit on Friday, Verma said, "There are problems everywhere. But we are determined to work hard and get the officials to do their job."
