In his approval, Saxena noted the administration of Arvind Kejriwal's failure to provide the "impact assessment of previous foreign training programmes," according to the PTI report.
"Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena has approved the education department's proposal for a primary in-charge training programme in Finland. In order to assure equal representation of primary in-charges from all 29 administrative zones of the education department, the LG increased the number of primary in-charges who were to travel to Finland for training from 52 to 87," according to an official from the LG's office.
"With this, 87 primary in-charges – three in-charges from each of the 29 administrative zones – will be selected for the training programme, as against the 52 primary in-charges who were arbitrarily selected by the government," according to the report.
The issue sparked a spat between the LG's office and the government, with the AAP accusing Saxena of "interfering" with the government's work.
Earlier in the day, Delhi Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena ordered transfers and postings of select officials in a reshuffle of bureaucrats, according to an official order. A Anbarasu, an IAS officer, has been awarded the job of Principal Secretary of PWD, as well as the additional charge of Principal Secretary of Commerce and Tax.
