Two weeks after Lieutenant Governor (L-G) Anil Baijal wrote to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal asking him to end the ongoing war with the IAS officers and address the concerns of both sides in a meeting, the bureaucrats are still awaiting the meeting to take place. Kejriwal, who was in Bengaluru for a 10-day naturopathy course returned on Saturday and joined the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) campaign on statehood on Sunday.

"We are yet to receive any communication from the CM or his office. It has been two weeks now and no communication has been made to date," said a senior officer. The IAS fraternity has been continuing with their five-minute silent protest everyday even though they have ended their "partial strike" and have started attending meetings with the AAP ministers.

The letter from the L-G came after Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia expressed the willingness to sort out the issues with the bureaucrats. The bureaucrats, in return, too agreed to resolve the matter. However, according to the sources, the CM has been too busy since the day he returned from Bengaluru. The meeting will be scheduled soon.

"Since the past two days, he has been too occupied with the work. Even today, he was busy with the launch of Happiness Curriculum for Delhi government schools. The officers will be called as soon as the CM gets time to schedule the meeting," said a Delhi government official.

The cold war between the IAS officers and the AAP government began after Delhi Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash was allegedly assaulted by the AAP MLAs at Kejriwal's residence in February. The officers, since then, have been on a "partial strike" avoiding any meetings with the Ministers.

"We will continue with the five-minute silent protest till the time we have the meeting with the CM," said another Delhi government official.

To get the officers back to the work, Kejriwal along with Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, Gopal Rai and Satyendra Jain went on a nine-day sit-in protest at Baijal's house.
