According to the sources, the first draft of the guidelines has been prepared and will soon be sent to the Department of Personnel Training
Miffed over the "misbehaviour" of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government and its MLAs, the Delhi government bureaucrats are now working on a set of guidelines to be followed during the Assembly committees in the Capital. The move aims to minimise the confrontation between the AAP government and the IAS officers.
According to the sources, the first draft of the guidelines has been prepared and will soon be sent to the Department of Personnel Training (DOPT). The department had asked the officers to prepare the rules which should explain the code of conduct to be followed during various proceedings. The rules, if implemented, will act as a roadmap for other states to follow.
"These rules are extremely important. It is not only for the ministers or MLAs but even for the officers. Each and every person sitting in the Assembly should follow a proper code of conduct. Like the Parliament sessions follow the suggested directions, we should have one for the states too," said a senior bureaucrat.
Last week, Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash was allegedly assaulted by the AAP MLAs at the residence of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. The incident led to an open war between the bureaucrats and the elected government.
Senior officers in the government cited previous incidents where the situation had gone out of the hand due to lack of such guidelines. "We were made to sit for more than three hours over an issue which was not even on the meeting agenda. If an officer is made to sit and waste time like this, then how do you expect him/her to expedite the work," asked another senior IAS officer.
"We get nasty notes from the ministers blaming us for the delay," added the officer.
