Is Govind Mohan emerging as Delhi’s de facto super-bureaucrat?

Whispers within the corridors of power suggest that Home Secretary Govind Mohan may be quietly cementing his position as the Union government’s most influential administrative heavyweight.

Amid mounting security vulnerabilities across the National Capital Region, North Block appears to have significantly consolidated operational authority. Rumors indicate that every key file concerning the administration, governance, and sensitive law-and-order apparatus of the capital now reportedly routes through Mohan’s desk for stringent prior vetting. If bureaucratic chatter holds true, this unprecedented gatekeeping role signals a decisive central tightening, effectively positioning the Home Secretary at the undisputed apex of Delhi’s governance structure.
