Two days after IAS couple Sanjeev Khirwar and his wife Rinku Dugga were transferred following misuse of stadium, another photo of an IAS officer visiting flood-hit areas in Assam’s Cachar district have gone viral on social media.
In the photos and videos shared on social media platforms, Jalli can be seen walking barefoot through the muddled waters in the flood-affected area and interacting with the people devastated by the natural calamity. A photo was shared on Twitter by Awanish Sharan, a 2009-batch IAS officer posted in Assam. He applauded her effort by tweeting a “folded hands” emoji.
Many people on the internet praised her for reaching out to those who have been affected, and her commitment to service. Cachar has been one of the areas worst affected from the extreme floods and thousands of people have been displaced losing their houses and property.
Recently, Khirwar, Delhi’s Principal Secretary (Revenue), reportedly used to take his dog for a walk at the Thyagraj Stadium, leading athletes and coaches at the Delhi government-run stadium to complain about being forced to wrap up training earlier than usual, by 7 pm. The incident triggered a social media storm with politicians slamming the bureaucrat for “misusing his authority” after which the IAS officers were transferred from Delhi.
Here is a list of times when bureaucrats turned saviour:

Delhi Transport Minister Kailash Gahlot also praised Kundra’s effort. “Good to see the commissioner of transport in Delhi Ashish Kundra travelling in a bus,” he tweeted.
