Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has issued his first direction from ED custody and has instructed to solve water- and sewer-related problems in some areas of the national capital.
Addressing a press conference, Atishi said the directions, received late on Saturday, brought tears to her eyes with Kejriwal showing concern for the people of Delhi despite his own plight.
Kejriwal (55) was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Thursday from his official residence in connection with an excise policy-linked money-laundering case. A court on Friday sent the AAP national convenor to the central agency’s custody till March 28.
The chief minister also directed for deploying enough water tankers in areas where there is scarcity to strengthen supply ahead of the approaching summer months, Atishi said.
The minister said Kejriwal directed to issue instructions to the chief secretary and other officers in this regard.
He also suggested seeking the help of Lt Governor VK Saxena, if needed, and expects that he will extend all assistance, she said. (With inputs from PTI)
