Delhi Assembly Speaker Vijender Gupta has written to Chief Secretary Dharmendra seeking his intervention in bringing in line some officers who allegedly have not been responding to communications from MLAs.

In his letter on Wednesday, Gupta sought the top city bureaucrat's attention to the procedure and protocol to be adhered to by the government officers while dealing with the members of the Assembly.

"A few instances have been brought to my notice where the communications of the Members in the form of letters, phone calls or messages have not even been acknowledged by the concerned officer," Gupta said in the letter, terming it a "serious" matter.

Gupta said he expected that all administrative secretaries, head of departments, Delhi Police, DDA, and other agencies would be asked to follow a strict compliance to the norms.
