DDCA President Rajat Sharma on Thursday met Lt Governor of Delhi Anil Baijal along with government nominated directors and apprised him of the recent developments in the association.
Sharma along with the DDCA directors also presented Baijal with a cheque of Rs 10 lakh on behalf of DDCA to be given to the Delhi Police for its Martyr’s Fund.
Sharma had resigned from his post on Saturday, citing his inability to continue amidst “various pulls and pressures”. He was, however, reinstated by DDCA ombudsman Justice (Retd) Badar Durrez Ahmed on Sunday, besides fixing November 27 to formally hear the matter.
