At a ceremony at the Raj Niwas here on Thursday, Vinai Kumar Saxena was sworn in as the 22nd Lieutenant Governor of Delhi, saying he would serve as the city’s local guardian rather than as lieutenant governor.
Acting Chief Justice of the Delhi High Court Vipin Sanghi administered the oath of office and secrecy to Saxena (64).
The ceremony was attended by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his Cabinet colleagues, Union Minister Giriraj Singh, Delhi MPs and MLAs, and top city government bureaucrats.
