BHOPAL: Chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan will take a final decision on the reply submitted by IAS officer Deepali Rastogi to the show-cause notice issued to her for writing an article against the ODF campaign in a newspaper. Chouhan has to decide whether the case against her should be closed or she should be penalised.
As Chouhan is in-charge of personnel department, the file has been sent to the CM through the CS. On the basis of his report, the department has recommended closure of proceedings against her. The department has not even recommended that warning be issued to her. The state government has issued notice to Deepali after the PMO had taken cognisance of the matter. In the article written in an English daily, she had said that the campaign was symbolic of ‘colonial mindset”.
