A day after a junior IAS officer Durga Shakti Nagpal met Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav and clarified her position the state government revoked her suspension but did not give new posting.
"The state government has revoked the suspension of 2010 batch IAS officer Durga Shakti Nagpal with immediate effect," Government spokesman Prabhat Mittal told The Pioneer here on Sunday.
He said that Nagpal has been put on waiting list and would get her new posting very soon.When Durga Shakti Nagpal met Chief Minister along with her husband Abhishek Singh, also an IAS officer, to clarify her stand it was clear that her suspension would be revoked soon.
Nagpal was suspended on July 27 ostensibly for taking on the powerful sand mining mafia as SDM of Gautambudh Nagar.Although the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister said that she was suspended for arbitrarily ordering the demolition of a wall of an under-construction mosque in Kadalpur village.
"Her action threatened to destroy communal peace," the Chief Minister had said.The Chief Minister had on August 29 ordered a fresh probe and appointed Principal Secretary (home) RM Srivastava as the inquiry officer in the case and called for a report within the next 15 days.
She was later served a chargesheet running into 10 pages, on a report of Commissioner (Meerut Division) alleging that the IAS officer had not adhered to the rules while demolishing a mosque wall to which she had later submitted her reply.The suspension had triggered a public outcry. Opposition parties also targeted the UP government over the issue.
