Dissatisfied with work, CM removed Prateek Hajela from health commissioner’s post

1995-batch IAS officer of Assam-Meghalaya cadre, Prateek Hajela was removed as commissioner of health services, Madhya Pradesh by Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan.
The CM was not satisfied with Hajela’s work during his review meeting with officials over coronavirus situation in the state.
Earlier, in Assam, he was appointed as a coordinator to prepare National Register of Citizens (NRC).
There the Assam police registered two cases against Hajela and other unidentified officials in September 2019 for alleged “discrepancies” in the final NRC list published on August 31, 2019.
Nearly two million people were left off the list as a part of an exercise to check illegal immigration.
