An IAS officer who had cleared the path for Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma's cavalcade has been reprimanded by the Chief Minister himself after the order resulted in a massive traffic jam. A video of the incident with the Chief Minister admonishing the officer for promoting "VIP Culture" has gone viral on social media. #WATCH Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma reprimands DC Nagaon for traffic jam near Gumothagaon on National Highway 37.He was in the area to lay the foundation stone of a road, earlier today. pic.twitter.com/nXBEXxpu6k I do appreciate his work as CM but this is not the way one should speak to a person who is Just doing his work. His safety was the reason behind stopping the vehicles. Message is good. Delivery of Message is poor, extremely poor. It's absolutely unfortunate & condemnable that he publicly humiliated a DC for scoring brownies.
The incident happened on National Highway 37 near Gumotha Gaon in Nagaon district when Deputy Commissioner (DC) Nisarg Hivare ordered to hold up traffic for security reasons. When the Chief Minister arrived, he saw the huge traffic jam and stopped his car and got down to know the reason. He apparently got annoyed and yelled at the officer for the order. He later said that VIP culture won't be allowed in the state.
"DC sahab yeh kya natak hai? Gadi kyun rukwaya hai? Koi raja, maharaja aa raha hai kya? Aisa mat karo. Logo ko kasht ho raha hai. Gadi jane do (What is this drama, DC sahab? Why have these vehicles been stopped? Is a king coming here? This should not happen again. People are suffering, let the vehicles go)," Mr Sarma was heard saying.
