Haryana: The Haryana government has recently executed a reshuffle of its Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officers, involving the transfer of 16 officials. Among them is Mohammad Imran Raza, who previously served as the Deputy Commissioner of Rewari. Notably, Raza had gained attention for issuing showcause notices to numerous sarpanches and panchayat members in relation to the passing of resolutions that prohibited the entry of Muslims into their villages following a bout of violence in Nuh.

Mohammad Imran Raza, who assumed the role of Deputy Commissioner in Rewari this past April, has been reassigned as the Deputy Commissioner of Jind. Earlier, Raza had confirmed the issuance of showcause notices under Section 51 of the Haryana Gram Panchayati Raj Act. This section pertains to the suspension and removal of sarpanches or panchayat members.

According to official statements from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government, these changes in assignments are part of routine transfer and postings of both IAS and Haryana Civil Services (HCS) officers.
