COIMBATORE: City corporation commissioner
Raja Gopal Sunkara
has relieved deputy corporation commissioner G
Vimalraj
from the posting with effect from Friday morning.
A district revenue officer cadre officer, Vimalraj was inducted into service 10 years ago. He took charge as the deputy corporation commissioner on July 14. Relieving him from the post in just two months has raised many eyebrows in the city corporation circle.
The order relieving Vimalraj, a native of
Namakkal
, from the posting was passed on Friday morning.
A section of people said they hadn’t so far come across a situation wherein a deputy commissioner was relieved by the corporation commissioner. “Usually, a transfer order mentioning the new post of the officer being shunted out comes from the state government.”
The order that was issued by
Sunkara
said Vimalraj was relieved from the posting because of administrative reasons. Copy of the order was sent to higher officials of various departments, including the chief minister’s office and district collector.
