SHIVPURI: Though there is no official word on it, CB Prasad, who was removed from the post of SDM, Karera may again be brought back. Prasad is a sensitive and honest officer and the people of the area are yet to overcome the shock over his sudden removal. He was attached to the collector’s office, sending a wave of resentment among the people.
When collector OP Shrivastava had proceeded on training, Prasad was posted as SDM, Karera. However, after his departure, collector in-charge Neha Marvaiyya had removed him from the SDM’s post and posted him in the collectorate where he was asked to handle the OIC work. Mukesh Verma was made SDM in his place.
Prasad had caught 18 dumpers engaged in illegal mining and it is conjectured that he was removed because of the pressure mounted by the sand mafia.
Collector Shrivastava, who is back from training, said he would take a decision on Prasad within two or three days. “Whatever is appropriate would be done,” he said.
