    IAS officer, who resigned over J&K, asked to resume duty
  • Days after the IAS officer Kannan Gopinathan resigned in protest over the restrictions imposed in Jammu and Kashmir, the 32-year-old has been asked to resume his duty immediately, until his resignation is officially accepted.

    Kannan, a 2012-batch IAS officer, served as the secretary of the power, urban development and town and country planning of Daman & Diu and Dadra and Nagar Haveli, before resigning.

  • Reportedly, the Deputy Secretary, Personnel Department of Daman and Diu, Gurpreet Singh, asked Kannan to resume duty, citing rules of the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT).

    A notice, dated August 27, was posted on the door of the room at the government guest house where Kannan lived in Silvassa.

    Kannan said he was aware of the notice, but refused to comment further.

    Although he didn't state a reason behind his action, he later told the press that he cannot, in good conscience, continue his service, given the situation in Jammu and Kashmir where the "fundamental rights of lakhs of people have been suspended for 20 days."
