He is a corona warrior who has been receiving standing ovation from various quarters, the latest one coming from the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Mr Sunil Arora. A nuro-surgeon at New Delhi’s Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital till about 2012, Dr Nawal Kishore Choudhary is a 2013 batch IAS officer from Bihar cadre, at present posted in its Kaimur district as District Magistrate.

CEC Mr Arora, who was on the tour of Bihar recently to oversee the election preparations going on in the state, was startled to discover that Mr Arora was actively involved in his various duties- including those related to the upcoming elections- even though he himself was stricken with Covid19 ! This officer certainly deserved a salute, the CEC decided.

Educating people about their voting rights, through street shows

`Let’s Make Him Bihar Icon’

Mr Arora has asked the Chief Electoral Officer of Bihar, Mr H R  Srinivasa to explore the possibility of making the IAS officer the state’s icon for their “voter’s awareness programme.’’

“A medical degree holder, Dr Choudhary has set an example for those who get infected with the virus and are scared to the polling booths to exercise their franchise,’’ said the CEC. The elections in Bihar, scheduled in three phases, will be held from October 28 to November 7, 2020.

Struck with Covid 19, But So What ?

IAS officer Dr Choudhary  was diagnosed with Covid19 on Sepetember 1. He remained in home isolation till the time his Covid 19 report came negative. But what is remarkable is that he kept functioning from home even while in isolation. As he told the media, “even in this period, I tried to ensure that essential work did not get effected.’’

It goes to Dr Choudhary’s credit that Kaimur, despite situated close to Uttar Pradesh, has been hit by very few active Covid 19 cases- only 27 by last count. Recently, the district administration collected 3011 samples, and all came out to be negative.

Busy on the Bihar Election Front

On the Election Front

Of late, Dr Choudhary has started marshalling his resources on the Bihar election front. He and his team members have been approaching people in different villages, holding functions and talk shows to emphasise the important of elections, and urging all to exercise their franchise.

In this connection, Dr Choudhary has launched `Har Ghar Dastak’ (knock every door) campaign in the entire Kaimur district, aiming to reach every house before the polling.

By leading from the front, Dr Nawal Kishore Choudahry has set an example for a whole lot of civil servants. And not just in Bihar, but in the entire country.
