Expressing displeasure over the allegations leveled against former L G Anil Baijal, V K Saxena has asked Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to restrain his deputy as the head of the Delhi government.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is expected to be among those attending the DDMA meeting, to be chaired by Lieutenant-Governor Anil Baijal.
The Cabinet meeting chaired by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal decided that the Delhi government' lawyers will be the public prosecutors in court matters related to the farmers' agitation.
The official of L-G wrote to the senior police and administration officers and asked them to take all-out measures to enforce the curfew guidelines.
His statement came as he chaired the 17th review meeting of the Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) on Monday.
The LG order said the orders will remain in force for a year from the date of publication of the notification.
Union Health Minister Dr Harsh Vardhan, Dr Randeep Guleria, Director of All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) and other senior officers will also be present at the meeting.
In October 2018, the Delhi High Court held in the case Social Jurist (a civil rights group) v government of NCT that classification of individuals as residents and non-residents for the purpose of providing medical facilities is unreasonable and violative of the fundamental right to health.
During the meeting, Principal Secretary (Health) made a detailed presentation on the preparedness and planning of the government regarding declaration of private hospitals as COVID hospitals.
Addressing a virtual press conference, Kejriwal asserted that this was not the time to fight with each other and do politics but stand united to defeat Coronavirus.
