NEW DELHI, Jan 31:
Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Tuesday accused Lt Governor V K Saxena of “withholding clearance” on Delhi Government’s proposal to send primary teachers of state-run schools to Finland for training.
In his letter, Sisodia asked Saxena to immediately approve the training programme.
Sharing the letter on Twitter, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal also urged the LG to allow the teachers to attend the training programme.
“I urge Hon’ble LG to allow our teachers to go abroad for training. Hon’ble LG had himself said that he is not against it,” he said in a tweet.
The Delhi Government had on January 20 sent the proposal to the Lt Governor’s Office to allow the teachers to visit Finland, days after Saxena asked the Government to first conduct a cost-benefit analysis of the programme.
“The file related to sending primary teachers of Delhi Government schools to Finland for training has been lying on your table since January 20.
“You have neither given your consent to this proposal nor have you started the process of sending it to the Honourable President for taking a decision on it,” Sisodia said in the letter.
Sisodia alleged that the LG had sent back the file to the Government twice on the pretext of seeking clarification.
“Sir, since October 2022, the file is taking rounds in your office. You sent the file back twice on the pretext of seeking clarification. (PTI)
