In the order, he has also confirmed the dates of the DDCA Annual General Meeting (AGM), which is scheduled from December 26 to 31.
“Necessary to audit and auditor is directed to do so in 10 days. AGM to be held between December 26 to 31 and agenda to be decided,” read the ombudsman’s order.

Sharma had resigned from the post citing ‘roadblocks’ while performing his duties as the DDCA president. The ombudsman accepted CEO Ravikant Chopra’s resignation.
“As far as the resignation of CEO is concerned, it is to be noted that he had resigned on November 4 and accepted, therefore, no appointment. However, there is a need to be somebody appointed as CEO.
