Soon after the Aam Aadmi Party’s defeat in the Assembly elections in Delhi, the General Administration Department of the Government of Delhi issued a notice, saying that no files and documents are to be taken out of the Delhi Secretariat premises without permission to ensure safety and security.
The notice issued by 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 the Delhi Secretariat complex without permission from GAD. It is, therefore, directed that necessary directions may be issued to the concerned branch in-charges under the Departments/Offices situated in Delhi Secretariat to ensure the safety of records, files, documents, electronic files etc. under their section/branches.”
The order further said that the rule is also applicable to all the Secretariat officials and Council of Ministers.
