New Delhi: Durga Shakti Nagpal. IAS officer of Punjab cadre's 2009 batch. Last August, she was posted as SDM of Gautam Buddh Nagar in Ghaziabad after her transfer from Punjab to Uttar Pradesh cadre. But she was hurriedly suspended for demolishing the wall of a religious structure, in the area that comes under the jurisdiction of Rabupura Police Station, an act that she was neither involved in nor responsible for. A report submitted by the DM, Ravikanth Kumar, has clearly stated that the sub-divisional magistrate of Gautam Buddh Nagar had never ordered the demolition of the wall of any religious structure. It says that she had merely told the villagers against construction of illegal structures on Government land. The village residents chose to dismantle the illegal construction of their own volition.
Strange enough that Samajwadi Party had debarred the SDM temporarily from her service on grounds of pulling down the wall of a religious structure. The report submitted by the current DM brings to light the intentions of the Samajwadi Party.
However, the UP government has shown no hurry in revoking the suspension order of D S Nagpal. After his two-day Karnataka visit, Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav returned Lucknow on Tuesday, wherein he collected complete information on the issue regarding D S Nagpal's suspension from the higher authorities. In the meantime, Durga Shakti Nagpal has been attached to the Revenues Council (Revenue Board).
The IAS Association has urged the Centre to intervene in the matter. It is being put forward that the actual reason behind ostensibly removing D S Nagpal from her position was her honest and firm stand during her tenure. Durga had come down heavily on the mining mafia. During her term, she had ordered stringent action against the sand mafia and the Uttar Pradesh police had registered FIRs and collected lakhs of rupees as a penalty. Her stand against the sand mafia created created unrest among the sand-mafia lobby who in turn put pressure on the Uttar Pradesh government and ultimately succeeded in getting her removed from her position.
But, D S Nagpal is not the first officer who has faced flak from the politicians in the course of duty.
Strange enough, where the whole nation is reeling under the bane of corruption, Samajwadi Party leaders take pride in declaring that they had managed to Mrs. Nagpal suspended within 41 minutes of meeting Mr. Mulayam Singh Yadav.
Where the Times News Report has exposed the brazen attitude of the UP government and the arrogant outlook of Mr. Akhilesh Yadav, a lot is yet to be unearthed on what could be the result of all this political mayhem.
On one hand, a chargesheet is being filed against Mrs. D S Nagpal and on the other hand, people have resorted to social platforms to speak against the Centre who did not find it necessary to intervene in the matter due to vested political interests.
An aspiration to join the highest coveted civil service in India to bring about a positive change in the country may go for a toss among the young generation, after witnessing the plight of the people who have already made it to the IAS job and are now reeling under the weight of political bigwigs and our depraved and putrid perverts who are otherwise applauded in the international arena as national-level leaders.
