The General Administration Department (GAD) of the Government of Delhi has issued a notice following the Aam Aadmi Party's defeat in the Delhi Assembly elections, stating that no files or documents should be taken out of the Delhi Secretariat premises without permission. This measure aims to ensure the safety and security of records.
The notice from GAD reads, "To address security concerns and the safety of records, it is requested that no files/documents, computer hardware etc. may be taken outside Delhi Secretariat complex without permission from GAD." It further directs that necessary instructions be issued to branch in-charges within the Departments/Offices located in the Delhi Secretariat to ensure the safety of records, files, documents, and electronic files under their section.
The order also applies to all Secretariat officials and the Council of Ministers. This directive comes in the wake of BJP's impending formation of the government in Delhi after 27 years.
