Two Uttar Pradesh civil service officers today joined Delhi government today.
The move came after, the Arvind Kejriwal-led government requested Uttar Pradesh government to release their two officers of state service.
According to a senior government official, Kapil Singh, city magistrate, Ghaziabad, and Praveen Mishra, ADM, Moradabad, were released by their state and they met the Kejriwal today.
"These officers were chosen after checking their track record. They are likely to work closely with Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and work with the Anti Corruption branch," a senior Delhi government official said.
Singh is a 2000 batch UPCS officer and Mishra is of 1997 batch and both are reportedly chosen by Kejriwal.
Even last year, AAP government asked for officers from various states. Delhi government has requested for few more officers from other states who may join soon, an official said.
