Sajjan Yadav appointed as Delhi Jal Board chief
Hindustan Times Delhi
|June 10, 2026
Senior IAS officer Sajjan Singh Yadav on Tuesday was appointed as the new chief executive officer (CEO) of the Delhi Jal Board (DJB).
The officer, who has served as the DJB CEO before, was pushed into the spotlight in 2023 after it was reported that he was living in Nehru Park, the heart of the country’s diplomatic enclave, in a bungalow whose construction he had cleared during his earlier term.
The order issued by the services department said Yadav was appointed in place of IAS officer Kaushal Raj Sharma, who was posted as secretary to the Delhi lieutenant governor in April earlier this year.
