After controversial demolitions, Surat gets new municipal commissioner; Who is Rajkumar Beniwal?
Surat has appointed its new Municipal Commissioner, IAS officer Rajkumar Beniwal, following a series of controversial demolitions in Nasir Nagar. The post had been vacant since Nagarajan's transfer on August 11. Beniwal, a 2004 batch officer, had been Managing Director at Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizers & Chemicals Ltd in Bharuch before his appointment.
The demolitions sparked a petition in the Gujarat High Court, with 26 affected individuals claiming improper procedures were followed. Nagarajan himself was removed from his position following these allegations.
