NEW DELHI: Power minister Atishi has written to Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission’s (DERC) chairperson-designate, retired justice Umesh Kumar, urging him to take the oath of office on July 3 or 4.
In her June 30 letter to retired justice Kumar, Atishi said the “unfortunate situation” had arisen because the power department wrote to him asking for time without her instructions or without checking her availability. “It is because of this shockingly lax and unprofessional behaviour that someone as senior as you has had to undergo this inconvenience…. We can have the oath taking ceremony in my office at 6pm on July 3 (Monday) or any time in the second half of the day on July 4 (Tuesday),” she said.
