The Civil Services Board (CSB) meeting scheduled on Tuesday to consider the AAP government’s directions to transfer officers was delayed due to Delhi Chief Secretary Naresh Kumar’s (IAS:1987:AGMUT) hectic schedule, sources said. The meeting could not take place on time as the Chief Secretary remained busy throughout the day.

Services Secretary Ashish More (IAS:2005:AGMUT) was removed by the Delhi government from the post on May 11, hours after the Supreme Court order placed the control of bureaucrats working with the Delhi government (excluding those related to police, public order, and land) under the elected government.
Besides directing More’s removal, the Delhi government had ordered that he be replaced by senior IAS officer A K Singh (IAS:1995:AGMUT). The transfer orders are yet to be implemented.
