NEW DELHI: Delhi Minister Atishi will be given additional charge of the services and the vigilance departments, a government source said, with Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal forwarding a proposal to L-G VK Saxena for approval.
The move comes a day after the Delhi services bill secured parliamentary approval after the Rajya Sabha passed the measure that will give the Centre control over the bureaucracy in the national capital.
Atishi was given additional charge of the revenue, planning and finance departments in June after Saxena approved a proposal to rejig the Cabinet.
These three departments were earlier with Transport Minister Kailash Gahlot.
Atishi — the only woman minister in the Delhi Cabinet — will now hold 14 portfolios, the highest among all ministers in the city government.
