The Haryana government is preparing to give forced retirement to IAS officer Rani Nagar (IAS:2014:HY) over her prolonged absence from duty. According to sources, Nagar has failed to respond to a series of notices, including the fourth and final reminder issued by the Chief Secretary.
The government has now decided not to give her any further opportunity and has already sent a formal proposal to the Union Ministry of Personnel and Training seeking her compulsory retirement.
Rani Nagar was last posted as Additional Secretary and Director in the Archives Department on March 11, 2020, and remained on that assignment until October 27, 2020. Since then, she has remained absent from duty. The state government had served her multiple notices, but she did not respond to any, officials said.
With no official communication from her end, the state has written to the Centre, paving the way for her removal from service. A resident of Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, Rani Nagar has often made headlines for various controversies in the past.
Her case is now likely to be decided by the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) based on the proposal submitted by the state.
