Mr Flynn, who lives in the United Arab Emirates, said he heard no fire alarm in the hotel despite the raging blaze. Burning debris fell from the building as firefighters raced to contain the blaze.

The union minister further said that the AAP government has lowered the level of governance and they should know that they would have to work through the officers only and there was no other alternative.

Spin magazine reported that Cole struggled with substance abuse issues over the years and faced liver disease and Hepatitis C. The music world is mourning the loss of Natalie Cole , with TMZ reporting the singer passed away at a Los Angeles hospital.

The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) however has declared the suspension order “non est” (null and void).

Supporting the DANICS Officers’s Association’s decision to go on mass leave, IAS Officers have also threatened to go on a half-day leave tomorrow.

Kejriwal also said that the time has come to replace bureaucrats with “professionals and sector experts”. “Thereafter, conspiracy was hatched”, Delhi’s Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia told reporters.

Almost 200 DANICS and over 70 IAS officials were among the absentees.

This has led to a mass leave by 200 IAS officers, as a mark of solidarity with their suspended colleagues, today.

The BJP has described the developments in Delhi as “deterioration into anarchy”. Outlining how the present government had, by and large, created a compatible setting for bureaucrats to work independently and to the best of their ability, Singh said civil servants were essential tools in good governance.

Singh also said it was “absurd” for AAP to blame Prime Minister Narendra Modi or senior PMO officials for all controversies, including the recent CBI raids at Delhi chief minister’s secretariat and the latest standoff over suspension of two DANICS officers. “Should he have not waited for the odd-even plan to get over on January 15 and then held a meeting with the LG to sort out the matter?” the official asked. “The BJP strongly opposes such harassment of officials and demands Jain’s resignation”, he said.

In its bid to gain the confidence of DASS cadre officers, whose 22,000-odd strength forms the backbone of the Delhi administration, the Arvind Kejriwal Cabinet on Thursday agreed in principle to hike their pay slab from ‘5,400 to ‘8,700.
