Karnataka Government on late Saturday night transferred Mysuru DC Rohini Sindhuri Dasari IAS and Mysuru City Corporation Commissioner Shilpa Nag IAS with immediate effect.

Rohini has been transferred as Commissioner for Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments, Bengaluru, while Shilpa has been transferred to Bengaluru as Director (e-Government) RD&PR.

Dr. Bagadi Gautam IAS who was serving as the Additional Commissioner for Commercial Taxes (Enforcement) Bengaluru will take charge as the Deputy Commissioner of Mysuru District.

Lakshmikanth Reddy IAS who was serving as the Managing Director, Karnataka Food and Civil Supplies Corporation limited will take charge as the Commissioner of Mysuru City Corporation.

In what comes as a fallout of the apparent tussle between Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officers . The Mysuru city corporation commissioner Shilpa Nag on Thursday resigned from her post alleging harassment by Rohini Sindhuri, her senior and the deputy commissioner of the district, over coronavirus disease (Covid-19) management. In a press conference announcing her resignation, Nag said, “There is no conducive atmosphere for me to discharge my duties. No one should ever face a situation like this.”

Rohini Sindhuri, on the other hand, denied the allegations levelled against her and blamed IAS officer Shilpa Nag for submitting “contradictory” ward-wise Covid-19 data.

The controversy in Mysuru centres on two IAS officers accusing each other of showing personal grudge.

Shilpa Nag, a 2014-batch IAS officer who has been the Mysuru city commissioner (MCC) since February earlier this year, alleged that Mysuru district deputy commissioner Rohini Sindhuri has been “targeting” her after media reports stated that the MCC has been doing a decent job in controlling the Covid-19 outbreak in the city.
