Singh is a 2018-batch IAS officer and is currently posted as the Joint Secretary, Cooperation/RD & PR. He is originally from Manipur.
The suspension order was issued by the Chief Secretary of Manipur, Vineet Joshi, on Wednesday. The order said that Singh’s refusal to join the posting was “unbecoming of an IAS officer” and that it had “caused a sense of insecurity among the general public”.
The order also said that Singh’s suspension would be reviewed after a month.
Singh’s refusal to join the posting has sparked a debate about the security of IAS officers in conflict-hit areas. Some people have criticized Singh for his decision, saying that it is his duty to serve the people of Manipur, regardless of the security risks involved. Others have supported Singh’s decision, saying that he has a right to refuse a posting that he feels is unsafe.
The Manipur government has said that it will take steps to ensure the safety of all IAS officers in the state.
It is important to note that the suspension of IAS officer Ng Roben Singh is a serious matter. It is a reminder of the challenges faced by IAS officers in conflict-hit areas. It is also a reminder of the need to strike a balance between the need to ensure the safety of IAS officers and the need to have them serve in these areas.
The Manipur government has said that it will take steps to ensure the safety of all IAS officers in the state. However, it is up to the individual IAS officer to decide whether or not they are willing to take on a posting in a conflict-hit area.
