However, the LG, who is at loggerheads with Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal over Gamlin's appointment as Chief Secretary, overturned the decision in the evening saying that Majumdar's removal does not have his approval and declared it as void.
"Majumdar has been transfered from his post. However, he has been kept awaiting new posting order," said a senior government official.
Sources said that Kejriwal was not happy with the way Gamlin was appointed as acting Chief Secretary by the Lt Governor and Majumdar "instantly" issued her posting orders.
