New Delhi, May 12 (IANS) The Delhi government on Saturday wrote to Lt Governor Anil Baijal asking him to meet the ministers and legislators on Monday over the CCTV installation issue.

"I have written a letter to the LG and asked him to meet us at 3 p.m. on Monday. In the letter I have also written to allot us any other time on Monday if he is busy at that time," Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia told media here.
