Delhi Police and AAP-led state government are once again all set for another face-off. A day ahead of Delhi government's proposed mega event at Central Park in Connaught Place on Monday, Delhi Police today said they have not been asked for any permission to hold such event.

According to Delhi Police , they were approached by New Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC) for permission but it does not qualify as organiser for such event and so technically no permission has been sought from them for any event at Central Park.

Delhi government has planned a mega event at Central Park on Monday where the entire Delhi Cabinet will be present to highlight its achievements during last 100 days before the public.

In these 100 days, the AAP government re-launched the '1031' anti-corruption helpline, where people can lodge complaints against officials, to weed out graft and achieve its stated objective of making Delhi the country's first corruption-free state.

The Arvind Kejriwal government has also initiated the process of regularising unauthorised colonies while it banned demolition of jhuggis immediately after assuming office and held a series of special camps to provide licences to e-rickshaws.

A new body, Delhi Dialogue Commission, was created to implement the government's 70-point development agenda whereas 21 MLAs were appointed as Parliamentary Secretaries to assist in matters of governance.

On the administrative front, Kejriwal had to settle for KK Sharma as the Chief Secretary as the Centre overruled his choice of Ramesh Negi.

A major conflict broke out as the Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung appointed Shakuntala Gamlin as the acting Chief Secretary when Sharma went on a 10-day leave.
