CASE STUDY
Both Raghav and Seema, husband and wife, are senior IAS officers posted in a very responsible position in Delhi. Raghav and Seema have a good track record in their services in the past and are very famous on social media. They are also dog lovers and have a dog at home. Busy lives and work pressure do not allow them to have leisure time and as they are quite famous, they do not have privacy, so they avoid crowded public places.
A recent incident at Delhi’s sports stadium caught the nation’s attention. Media reported that the stadium was cleared by sending the athletes early so that the IAS officer-couple can walk with their dog on the tracks. After this report, the IAS officers were transferred at a ‘punishment’ posting and the Delhi government extended the time for the athletes in the stadium to 10 pm.
(a) What is the issue that the case study wants to address?
(b) Do you agree with the corrective measures taken against the officers? What should be the measures taken so that these incidents are not repeated?
