Chandigarh, May 12

Facing charge-sheet for absenting herself from duty for several months, a 2014-batch IAS officer of the Haryana cadre Rani Nagar has offered to resign from service. This is the second time in almost two years that she has “resigned” from service.

Nagar, currently posted as Additional Secretary, Citizen Resources Information Department (CRID), posted her resignation letter on the Facebook a few days ago. She also addressed the “resignation letter” to the President, the Central government and the Haryana Chief Secretary.

She claimed that she had been “on leave” since August 7, 2021. Sources, however, claimed that she would be served a charge-sheet for not joining office. In 2020, Nagar had resigned for “personal safety on government duty”. However, the government didn’t accept her resignation.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
