LG gives nod for CDV deployment
Hindustan Times|November 14, 2024
Lieutenant governor (LG) VK Saxena on Wednesday approved the deployment of civil defence volunteers (CDVs) on the ground to aid in pollution-mitigating efforts for four months, from November to the end of February 2025, officials with the LG office said.

The LG also urged the government to take concrete steps to formulate a separate scheme to permanently deploy them as bus marshals.

"Approving the proposal of the government, delayed by about 12 days after he initially passed directions to this effect, Saxena has once again urged the government to take concrete steps on formulating a scheme for bus marshals separately, as he had directed in his letter to the CM on October 24 and November 2," the LG's office said.
