IAS Officer's Unorthodox Lesson in Accountability

In a rare display of accountability, IAS officer Rinku Singh Rahi, the newly appointed Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) of Puwaiyan tehsil, performed sit-ups in front of advocates, admitting to lapses in maintaining cleanliness at the tehsil office.

Rahi initially implemented the sit-ups as a corrective measure for individuals found violating public cleanliness norms. Striking advocates then highlighted further hygiene issues, prompting the officer to hold himself accountable and join in the sit-ups.

A video of the event has gone viral, sparking discussions on accountability and civic responsibility. Rahi's actions underline a clear message: public servants should lead by example, acknowledging and rectifying mistakes openly.
