Najeeb Jung takes over as new Lieutenant Governor of Delhi

New Delhi: Najeeb Jung, a former IAS officer, today took over as new Lt Governor of Delhi at a time when the national capital is grappling with a range of challenges including safety of women, regularisation of unauthorised colonies and crawling infrastructure.

62-year-old Mr Jung was administered the oath of office and secrecy by Acting Chief Justice of Delhi High Court BD Ahmed at a function at Raj Niwas which was attended by Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit, her ministerial colleagues and top brass of Delhi Government and police.




Mr Jung's predecessor Tejendra Khanna, however, skipped the function.

A 1973-batch IAS officer, Mr Jung is the 19th Lt Governor of Delhi who was appointed to the post by President Pranab Mukherjee last week. His appointment came just five months before the national capital goes to assembly polls.

As Lt Governor, Mr Jung will be in-charge of Delhi Police and Delhi Development Authority besides being the administrative head of the Delhi Government.
