The Legislative Assembly Secretariat has issued orders for disengagement of 116 fellows under the Delhi Assembly Research Centre Fellowship Programme, days after a Bill related to services matters in national capital was passed in Parliament.

The Legislative Assembly Secretariat had issued an order earlier this month discontinuing the engagement of the fellows, but later said the decision has been kept in abeyance till further directions.

Delhi Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena recently terminated the services of around 400 “specialists” appointed by the Arvind Kejriwal government, a move the AAP dispensation termed “unconstitutional”.
