Is it ok to email a Director after an interview?

Not weird at all. Asst Directors are commonplace. They are like Managers in the private sector.

This kind of low rank position is not empowered to make hiring decision. It is likely he will need to file reports of the interview and forward to the necessary authorities for further instruction. This can take some time anywhere from a few weeks to even a few months.

Be more patient and wait a bit more.

Erm, no. In a stat board AD is equivalent to divisional manager and they can make hiring decisions (with approval from the director, of course), In a ministry however, AD is just one grade above entry level.
