HIGHLIGHTS:
Mr Kejriwal, 49, is diabetic. “He has a strict routine of an hour’s walk twice a day and balanced diet, which went for a toss because of the dharna (sit-in), so his health worsened,” said sources.
Clearing his diary for today means a meeting with Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officers, which was part of a truce following which the officers had agreed to attend meetings called by Mr Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government.
Mr Kejriwal and three of his ministers went to the Lieutenant Governor’s office-residence last Monday and refused to budge until he heard them out and stepped in to solve their problems – one, what they called a “strike” by officers since February, and the other, Mr Baijal not approving a doorstep delivery scheme.
On Tuesday evening, Mr Kejriwal said IAS officers had agreed to attend meetings and called it a “victory”.
A group of Delhi government employees later wrote an open letter to the chief minister asking for a meeting on their safety.
“We believe that you (CM) will appreciate, disagreement by an officer on any policy matter with the minister/CM should not be construed as a wilful opposition of policies of the government,” the letter said.
“We now look forward to meeting you to discuss how to make our working environment safe and secure, not only in relation to physical assaults but also for verbal assaults, threats, intimidation and attack on dignity and respect of officers/officials including lady officers/officials,” the officers wrote.
