Durga Shakti Nagpal: Real life ANANDI
A woman civil servant, who took on a powerful clique of business and political interests and was suspended from her job, has become the rallying point of civil servants across the country and is drawing support from civil society against what is perceived as growing criminalisation in the Indian political system.
Durga Shakti Nagpal (born 25 June 1985) is an Indian bureaucrat, civil servant and officer in the Uttar Pradesh cadre of the Indian Administrative Service. She is presently posted as Joint Magistrate of Kanpur(Rural). She came into public view after launching a massive drive against corruption and illegal sand mining within her jurisdiction of Gautam Budh Nagar. She was later suspended by the Uttar Pradesh government for allegedly demolishing an illegal mosque wall in a village in Greater Noida, which resulted in severe opposition as it was perceived to be based on flimsy grounds. There was a growing demand from various political parties, associations of Indian bureaucrats, and by the general public on online social media for her suspension to be revoked. Her suspension was revoked by the Uttar Pradesh government on 22 September 2013.
Hopefully we would see our BV Anandi in a similar position soon.
