New Delhi: Cabinet meeting, several important meetings on odd-even formula and rehabilitation of JJ dwellers were cancelled and no officers and staff were allowed on the third floor at Delhi Secretariat as CBI raided CM Arvind Kejriwal’s principal secretary office in a corruption case. “The Chief Minister today cancelled Cabinet meetings and a board meeting of Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board (DUSIB) on rehabilitation of dwellers which were to be held at Delhi Secretariat due to CBI’s raids,” said a senior government official.
Apart from that, meetings on odd-even scheme to be implemented from January 1 could not be held, the official said.
Police personnel in a large number were deployed and barricades erected outside Delhi Secretariat to prevent any protest. Out of the six Cabinet ministers in the Arvind Kejriwal government, only three – Transport minister Gopal Rai, Tourism minister Kapil Mishra and Social Welfare minister Sandeep Kumar – came to Secretariat, but left after few hours.
