New Delhi, Jan 2: New Lt Governor Anil Baijal on Monday assured that his office would extend all help to Delhi's AAP government in mitigating the troubles of the people and asked officials to come up with "innovative" ideas to achieve that.

In his first meeting since taking over as 20th Lt Governor of Delhi on Saturday, Baijal asked secretaries and principal secretaries to ensure that the city is clean and green.

The meeting was attended by top bureaucrats, including Chief Secretary M M Kutty, and heads of departments under the Delhi government. This assumes significance as Baijal's predecessor Najeeb Jung had been at loggerheads with Arvind Kejriwal-led Delhi government on a variety of issues, including over the administrative control of the bureaucracy.
