CAG reports now cleared, call House sitting: Delhi's LG

NEW DELHI: Lieutenant governor (LG) VK Saxena on Monday informed the Delhi high court that all 14 Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) reports have been approved and forwarded to chief minister Atishi's office, and urged her to convene a special session of the Delhi legislative assembly to table the reports "immediately".

Experts, however, noted that the LG's directions are not binding, and the cabinet, led by the chief minister, can choose whether or not to call an assembly session. To be sure, Delhi government on December 2 submitted an undertaking to the high court affirming that it would call another session of the Delhi legislative assembly before its dissolution in February.
