Bureaucrat’s Gandhigiri pacifies agitating officials
CHANDIGARH: Muktsar Sahib Deputy Commissioner Harpreet Singh Sudan was in the news recently after he raised slogans against himself while expressing solidarity with protesting officials of the revenue department. The officials were on protest after farmers had held their colleagues on hostage. A video of incident had gone viral in which the 2013 batch Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer was seen sitting on the floor in front of the agitating group in the district administration complex. He then asked the officials to send a delegation of five members to his office and submit their demands so that he could amicably solve their issue. His gesture pacified the staff as they ended their strike.
