U.P. Congress chief Ajay Rai flags IAS officer Divya Mittal’s resignation, seeks Governor’s intervention
Describing the IAS officer's resignation as very serious, adding that the government should seriously investigate the matter and bring out the truth
Uttar Pradesh Congress chief Ajay Rai has written to Governor Anandiben Patel regarding the recent resignation of a 2013-batch IAS officer from the state, Divya Mittal. Mr. Rai described the situation as very serious, emphasizing the importance of respect for honest officers, their impartial functioning, and an environment free from political pressure.
Divya Mittal's resignation, announced on social media, came after nearly 13 years of service in the U.P. cadre. The officer expressed her gratitude for serving the public and highlighted the fulfillment of her personal dreams after dedicating her career to the state. She also emphasized the importance of maintaining dignity for every individual affected by government decisions.
Since the BJP came to power in 2017, 13 other IAS officials have either resigned or taken voluntary retirement, raising concerns about the morale of honest officers and the overall functioning of the state machinery. Rai urged the Governor to raise the issue with the Union government to protect the respect and dignity of honest officers.
