Know what is the ordinance of the central government, on which there was a ruckus
The central government came out with an ordinance on May 19 to set up the National Capital Public Service Authority for transfer and administrative action against officers of the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) and DANICS cadre. A week before this, the Supreme Court had handed over the control of the services to the elected government of Delhi in all other matters, except the matters related to police, civil service and land. An ordinance needs to be approved by the Parliament within six months. It is believed that the central government may introduce a bill related to this ordinance in the monsoon session of Parliament.
