I am thankful to the Government from the core of my heart for doing justice to me by deciding to drop the charges (on handling of Covid-19 during my Collectorship in Gautambuddhanagar) at preliminary stage level itself
The fairness, objectivity and professionalism followed by everyone who examined and decided on my representation to the chargesheet at every stage was just “OUTSTANDING”. “GOD BLESS THEM.”
I am also really grateful to everyone in the society (both visible & invisible) who, through their faith in me &good wishes, stood by me during these times. God bless the Society at this critical time which Sartre would have termed this phase as an “Existential Crisis”.
