The Ministry of Home Affairs has sought a reply from Delhi Chief Secretary after row over IAS babu walking his dog in a Delhi stadium by keeping the athletes out.
In a media report over the past few months, athletes and coaches at the Delhi government-run Thyagraj Stadium have been complaining about being forced to wrap up training earlier than usual, by 7 pm. The reason, according to them, is that Delhi’s Principal Secretary (Revenue) Sanjeev Khirwar walked his dog at the facility for about half an hour.
A 1994 batch IAS officer, Khirwar is currently the revenue commissioner of Delhi. He is also the secretary of the Environment Department of Delhi.
Meanwhile, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has ordered that all government-run sports facilities should stay open till 10 pm.
