PM Narendra Modi rewards firebrand IAS officer B Chandrakala with key assignment
It seems her honesty at work has earned her a reward.
Meerut/New Delhi: District Magistrate of Meerut, B Chandrakala, has become a part of the dream team of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
In 2014, Chandrakala, the 2008 batch UP cadre IAS officer, became famous in the social media after she publicly pulled up civic officials and contractors for sub-standard road construction.
It seems her honesty at work has earned her a reward.
Chandrakala has now been appointed as the director of `Swacch Bharat Mission` and deputy secretary, Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation.
The IAS officer has worked extensively for 'Clean India' campaign while she was discharging her duties as the DM of Bulandshahr, Bijnor, and Meerut.
The Centre has applauded her efforts to make Bijnor an 'open defecation free' (ODF) district.
