Haryana CM Manohar Lal Khattar Haryana CM Manohar Lal Khattar

The Haryana government on Wednesday transferred five IAS officers. All the transfers relate to the health department. Those transferred include whistleblower Pradip Kasni, who was transferred for the 63rd time in his 31 years of service. These include four transfers since the BJP came to power in Haryana eight months ago.

Kasni was previously shunted out from the post of Divisional Commissioner, Gurgaon, in December, 2014 within a month of being posted there. After the intervention of State Health Minister Anil Vij, he was posted as Director General and Secretary, Medical Education and Research Department, in January this year. He has now been shifted to the archives department in what is considered a ‘defunct’ post.

While Kasni has alleged ‘victimisation’ because he claims that he was “about to unearth scandals in the health department”, Vij claimed he was unaware of the transfers.
