The Story in Brief
Rohtak district has been without a deputy commissioner since August 6, when DC Sachin Gupta was transferred to Ambala. The Haryana government initially named IAS officer Pradeep Dahiya as replacement but reversed the posting the next day, sending him back to Gurugram. Even after transfer orders for 17 IAS officers on Friday, the Rohtak DC post remained vacant, Hindustan Times reports. Additional DC Narendra Kumar is handling Independence Day preparations. Former chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda criticised the government, calling it non-performing.
The Indian Opinion
The blame game between Congress and BJP over Rohtak's vacant DC post is familiar politics, but the real issue is administrative slack. A district cannot run on autopilot for a week before Independence Day, whatever the reason for the transfer reversal. Both sides should focus on whether the government fills the post before August 15. If not, the charge of negligence sticks.
