The lieutenant governor also directed the chief minister to consider recruiting the volunteers to be terminated as Home Guards.
Delhi Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena on Friday approved a proposal of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to terminate the services of all civil defence volunteers with effect from November 1 this year, with AAP government sources saying they will approach the Supreme Court if this happens, setting off a fresh tussle between the two sides.
The lieutenant governor also directed the chief minister to consider recruiting the volunteers to be terminated as Home Guards.
The development came hours after the chief minister asked Delhi Home Minister Kailash Gahlot to appoint the civil defence volunteers as Home Guards and depute them as bus marshals.
