Meanwhile, acting Delhi Chief Secretary Shakuntala Gamlin, whose appointment has fuelled a face-off between the Arvind Kejriwal government and Lt Governor Najeeb Jung, today met Union Home Secretary LC Goyal.


The senior bureaucrat, who has been accused by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal of trying to favour power companies, had a 30-minute meeting with Goyal during which Delhi Police Commissioner BS Bassi and Joint Secretary (Union Territory) in the Home Ministry, Rakesh Singh, too, were present.


Sources said the meeting was held to discuss "routine" administrative matters. Despite repeated queries, Gamlin kept mum about the meeting as well as the controversy surrounding her appointment as the acting Delhi Chief Secretary.
