In a cabinet rejig within the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government, Minister Atishi has been given the additional charge of the Law Department, divesting it from Minister Kailash Gahlot, to whom the Women and Child Development Department has been allocated.

The Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's recommendation for the same was approved by Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena, said the Delhi government on Friday. The decision to remove Kailash Gahlot from the helm of the law department came a day after LG VK Saxena recalled files related to the judicial infrastructure following a delay by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in clearing them. Atishi now oversees 14 portfolios, which is the highest number of portfolios a minister in the Delhi government has right now.
