Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has issued his first direction from ED custody on running the city government, instructing Water Minister Atishi to solve water- and sewer-related problems in some areas of the city.
Addressing a press conference, Ms. Atishi said the directions, received late on March 24, brought tears to her eyes with Mr. Kejriwal showing concern for the people of Delhi despite his own plight.
Mr. Kejriwal was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on March 21 from his official residence in connection with an Excise policy-linked money-laundering case. A court on March 22 sent the AAP national convenor to the central agency's custody till March 28.
