There has been administrative change in Delhi. 1994 batch IAS officer Sanjay Khirwar has been appointed as the new Municipal Commissioner of Delhi. He is returning to the capital after more than three years. Khirwar can take charge of his new post from Thursday. Sanjay Khirwar was removed from Delhi in 2022 when a controversy arose over walking a dog in Thyagaraj Stadium. At that time he was the Principal Secretary of the Revenue Department of Delhi.
According to reports, Khirwar and his wife Rinku Duga, herself a 1994 batch IAS officer, had reached the stadium to walk their dog by 7 pm. Due to this, players and coaches alleged that they had to end their training early. He usually practiced till 8:30, but that day he had to stop at 7.
However, the then Thyagaraja administrative officer Ajit Chaudhary had rejected these allegations. He had said that the official training time for the players is only till 7 pm and Khirwar also termed these allegations as completely wrong. Despite this, the controversy escalated and he was later transferred to Ladakh.
Work on important post in Ladakh
In Ladakh, Khirwar took charge of important departments like health and medical education. There he supervised many big projects along with administrative work. Considering his efficiency and experience, he was again posted in Delhi this month. This happened after the Home Ministry announced a large-scale reshuffle of IAS and IPS officers of AGMUT cadre.
New responsibility in Delhi
Sanjay Khirwar will now take charge as Delhi Municipal Commissioner. He will replace Ashwani Kumar, a 1992 batch IAS officer of AGMUT cadre, who was sent to Jammu and Kashmir this month. In this post, the main work of Khirwar will be to run the departments related to the municipality of the city. This includes responsibilities related to cleanliness, water supply, sewer system, town planning and local administration.
How much salary?
If seen according to seniority, Sanjeev will be working at Khirwar Pay Level 15. According to reports, his basic salary is around Rs 1,82,200 per month. Apart from this, other allowances and facilities are also included.
