Delhi Women's Panel Clarifies Only 52 of 223 Positions Were Filled, Amid Controversy

The Delhi Women's Commission, under scrutiny for alleged irregular appointments, confirms major discrepancies in reported sackings.

The Delhi Commission for Women initially reported the termination of 223 employees, but later clarified that only 52 positions were actually filled.
Former DCW chief Swati Maliwal criticized the revised announcement, questioning the functionality of essential services with reduced staff.
The Lieutenant Governor's office cited violations of the DCW Act in the creation of these positions without proper approval.
A probe into the appointments found they were made without following due procedures, further complicating the commission's operations.
The controversy highlights ongoing tensions between the AAP, which supports Maliwal, and the central government's appointee, the Lieutenant Governor.
