"The post of CEO (Delhi Waqf Board) is lying vacant since November 28, 2024. However, the Government has sent the proposal to give additional charge of CEO (Delhi Waqf Board) after a lapse of one month. Due to this callousness on part of Government the day-to-day function of the Board like releasing of salaries of Imams and other functionaries have been held up," the statement read
"Keeping in view the hardships faced by the imams/mutawallis who are poor people suffering due to non-payment of salaries in the absence of a CEO, I am approving the proposal," Saxena said.
"However, the proposal should be ratified by the Board before the appointment takes effect. Further, it is advised that in future, the proposal should be sent for my consideration strictly as per the provisions of law," the LG added.
