Kejriwal issues order from ED custody, directs minister to solve water concerns

In a signed order from the chief minister’s office (CMO), Kejriwal, who was arrested by ED in the excise policy case on Thursday night, has written that appropriate directions must be issued to chief secretary Naresh Kumar and the help of lieutenant governor (LG) VK Saxena should be sought in case the need arises. “He (LG) will certainly extend his help,” Kejriwal wrote.

In a press conference on Sunday, Cabinet minister Atishi read out the order from the chief minister received by her. “Arvind Kejriwal has directed me from the ED custody that he has come to know that various areas in Delhi are facing water and sewage related issues. “I am worried (about these complaints). Just because I am in jail, people of Delhi should not face any inconvenience.

The summer season is about to start. Make sure enough tankers are prepared for the areas which face water shortage. Issue order to the chief secretary and other senior officers to ensure that people do not face any problems,” Atishi read out from the CMO order.
