Haryana Home Minister Anil Vij has accepted the request of repatriation by Director General of Police (DGP) Manoj Yadava’s. A 1988 batch officer, Mr. Yadava has wrote to the state government last week that he would now like to return to the Centre’s Intelligence Bureau to resume duties as additional director due to career consideration and family requirements.
In a media interaction Mr. Vij said, DGP has written to the home department seeking repatriation. He had cited family reasons and requested that the state government relieve him. I have accepted his request and asked the home department that a list of suitable officers for the next DGP should be sent to UPSC. Manoj Yadava has been asked to continue till the arrangement of his successor is completed.” He has given the nod on Yadava’s request however, the approval from Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar is still awaited.
Let it be noted that Yadava’s four years service is still left. CM Khattar and Vij had always been on different pages with regard to Manoj Yadava. CM has been hell-bent on retaining him as the police chief while Vij wants a new officer.
