Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Wednesday ordered the transfer of Shajapur District Collector Kishore Kanyal a day after a purported video appeared on the internet showing him allegedly involved in an argument with a representative of protesting truck drivers.
As per a notification issued by the General Administration Department (GAD), Narsinghpur Collector Raju Bafna has been posted to Shajapur while Mr. Kanyal has been made a deputy secretary with the State Administration. According to an official at the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO), Mr. Yadav took the action due to the “language” used by Mr. Kanyal and said that his government “will not tolerate such language”.
In the viral video, Mr. Kanyal, at a meeting with truck drivers in his district, is heard asking them to not take law and order in their hands when a driver asks him to talk politely.
