New Delhi, Dec 31 (IBNS): Anil Baijal takes oath as new Lieutenant Governor of Delhi on Saturday, according to media sources.

The former Union Home Secretary took over the reins from Najeeb Jung, who resigned earlier in December.

At the oath-taking ceremony, Baijal said, "I  will work with elected government of Delhi."

He also said that Delhi is beset with several problems, including law and order, women safety and pollution.

A 1969-batch India Administrative Service officer of the Union Territories cadre, Baijal was removed as union home secretary when the UPA government assumed power in May 2004, media reported.
