AGMUT

May 28, 2022

The transfer of errant IAS couple Sanjeev Khirwar and Rinku Dugga from Delhi to Ladakh and Arunachal Pradesh respectively has raised a “dumping ground” storm on social media.

About:

  • The Central government had shunted the duo — both 1994-batch IAS officers of the AGMUT cadre — out of Delhi after they had allegedly forced athletes at the Thyagraj Stadium to finish their training early in order to take their dog for an evening walk.
  • AGMUT expands to Arunachal, Goa, Mizoram and the Union Territories.
  • But the transfer of Mr. Khirwar to Ladakh and Ms. Dugga to Arunachal Pradesh has not gone down well.
  • Many took to Twitter and other social media platforms to ask if the Centre viewed the northernmost and the north-easternmost parts of India as dumping grounds for errant bureaucrats.
