Railway Board Secretary Ranjanesh Sahai has written to the DoPT asking for the immediate repatriation of Sanjiv Kumar, a 2005 batch officer of the Indian Railway Personnel Service (IRPS).
The Railway ministry has asked the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) for the immediate repatriation of an officer working in the office of Union Minister Jitendra Singh, citing "breach of official decorum and misconduct".
Railway Board Secretary Ranjanesh Sahai has written to the DoPT asking for the immediate repatriation of Sanjiv Kumar, a 2005 batch officer of the Indian Railway Personnel Service (IRPS).
Kumar is the Officer on Special Duty (OSD) to Jitendra Singh, who holds portfolios like Minister of State in the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) and for Development of North Eastern Region.
Kumar's article, published by www.railsamachar.com and www.nationalwheels.com, questions the wisdom of senior functionaries of the level of secretary to the government and also casts aspersions on the Minister of Railways (Piyush Goyal), PTI reported, quoting the letter.
"You would appreciate that misconduct of this nature and that too in the public domain would send a wrong message all around and encourage indiscipline in the service," the letter dated December 28, 2018, said.
Kumar has raised concerns about the functioning of the Railway ministry.
The Railway ministry has internally transferred another officer for allegedly raising concerns on cadre-related issues. Chetan Prakash Jain, a 1994 batch IRPS officer, executive director, Establishment (GC), has been appointed Executive Director, Establishment (G), which officials say is a less significant charge.
