Delhi LG removes 223 DCW employees appointed by former Chief Swati Maliwal
New Delhi: Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena has ordered the immediate removal of 223 contractual employees from the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW). This decision comes amid allegations that the appointments were made without proper authorization by the former DCW chairperson, Swati Maliwal.
According to the Department of Women and Child Development, Swati Maliwal had appointed these staffers on contract basis without the requisite permission from the government, which is in violation of established rules and regulations.
The order issued by the Lieutenant Governor highlighted several irregularities in the appointment process. It stated that the DCW had violated statutory provisions and administrative protocols by creating these positions and engaging staff without following due procedure. No assessment was conducted to determine the actual need for additional staff, and the eligibility criteria for each post were not established. Furthermore, administrative approval and sanctioned expenditure from the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (GNCTD) were not obtained for engaging these personnel. Additionally, applications for these posts were not formally invited, roles and responsibilities were not assigned, and some incumbents' emoluments were enhanced arbitrarily.
In light of these irregularities, the Lieutenant Governor deemed the appointments of contractual staff in DCW as void ab initio, meaning null and void from the outset. Therefore, all contractual staff members appointed by DCW, beyond its delegated power and without following due procedures, have been directed to discontinue their services with immediate effect.

The Hubbali police took custody of him at around 4:30 AM and admitted him to a hospital in the city.
Reports indicate Sawant faced assault from a fellow passenger allegedly for his misconduct during the journey, possibly contributing to his fall. However, official details regarding the circumstances leading to his fall remain undisclosed. Commissioner Sukumar mentioned Sawant's current inability to provide a statement due to severe head and facial injuries.
