The bureaucratic wrangle between Mysuru Deputy Commissioner Rohini Sindhuri and Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) Commissioner Shilpa Nag has ended in both of them being shunted out in a late-night development on Saturday.

While Ms. Sindhuri has been transferred to the post of Commissioner, Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments, Ms. Nag has been appointed Director, E-governance, Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Department.

The new Deputy Commissioner of Mysuru will be Bagadi Gautam. MCC Commissioner will be Lakshmikanth Reddy.

The last few days have seen a public spat between the two bureaucrats, with Ms. Nag announcing her resignation at a press conference, alleging “harassment” by Ms. Sindhuri.

Ms. Sindhuri had denied the allegations, stating that she had only sought documents related to COVID-19 management, which cannot be construed as harassment.

A meeting held by the Chief Secretary had not eased the situation and Ms. Nag had said she would resume work on Sunday, until her resignation was accepted.
