BENGALURU: The state government on Saturday shunted out Mysuru deputy commissioner Rohini Sindhuri and Mysuru City Corporation commissioner Shilpa Nag following their ugly public spat over the past few days.
Bagadi Gautham, a 2009 batch IAS officer, replaces Sindhuri as Mysuru DC while G Lakshmikanh Reddy, 2015 batch IAS officer, takes over from Shilpa.
While Sindhuri has been posted commissioner of Hindu religious and charitable endowments, Bengaluru, Nag will be director of e-governance in rural development and panchayat raj department.
The government was contemplating action against them after Shilpa resigned from the IAS over alleged harassment by Sindhuri.
It had also launched a probe into the construction of a gym and swimming pool at the DC’s residence allegedly in violation of heritage laws.
The spat between the officers was unseemly, coming as it did amid a huge spike in Covid cases in Mysuru district.
Among the other transfers, P Rajendra Cholan has been posted as managing director, Bescom, and will hold concurrent charge as special commissioner (health and IT), BBMP.
