Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena has in a communication to President Droupadi Murmu proposed September 21 as the date for the swearing-in of Chief Minister-designate Atishi, sources said on Wednesday.

They said outgoing Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s resignation letter has also been moved to Murmu.
