Kolkata Airport makes history by welcoming first Giant Airbus Beluga XL
The government has issued a compulsory retirement notice to senior IAS officer Rinku Dugga.
Dugga, a 1994-batch AGMUT (Arunachal Pradesh-Goa-Mizoram and Union Territory) cadre officer, faced controversy last year when it was reported that she had emptied a stadium of athletes to walk her dog. She and her husband Sanjeev Khirwar, also a 1994-batch IAS officer, were transferred out of Delhi following the incident.
The report stated that the athletes at the Thyagraj Stadium were being forced to finish their training early so that the IAS couple could bring their dog to the facility for an evening walk.
While Khirwar, who worked as principal secretary (revenue) with the Delhi government, was transferred to Ladakh, Dugga was posted as Principal Secretary, Indigenous Affairs in Arunachal Pradesh.
Dugga has been retired compulsorily under the Fundamental Rules (FR) 56(j), Rule 48 of Central Civil Services (CCS) Pension Rules, 1972 after an assessment of her service record.
