The post of chief executive officer (CEO) in Delhi Waqf Board was lying vacant since November 28, 2024, the LG said in a statement.
«However, the (AAP) government sent a proposal to give additional charge of CEO (to an official) after a lapse of one month. Due to this callousness on the part of the government, the day-to-day functions of the Board such as releasing salaries to imams and other functionaries were held up,» the LG said.
«Keeping in view the hardships faced by the imams/mutawallis who are poor people suffering due to non-payment of salaries in the absence of a CEO, I am approving the proposal,» Saxena said.
«However, the proposal should be ratified by the Board before the appointment takes effect. Further, it is advised that in future, the proposal should be sent for my consideration strictly as per the provisions of law,» the LG added.
