The Chhattisgarh government on Thursday shunted out IAS officer Sudhakar Xalxo from the post of Secretary, Lok Aayog, for reportedly causing nuisance in the office in an inebriated condition.
The 2012 batch Chhattisgarh cadre officer reached the office in a drunken condition on Wednesday and created a scene after reportedly taking off his shirt and abusing people.
Taking serious note of the incident, the government removed him from the post.
IAS officer Anurag Pandey, Special Secretary in Water Resources, has been given the additional charge of Secretary, Lok Aayog.
Xalxo has been attached in the Mantralaya as Joint Secretary without any department.
