Only a day ago, Hajela was removed from Social Justice Department. Hajela is a 1995-batch IAS officer of Assam cadre.
Digital Desk: Prateek Hajela, the principal secretary (PS) and CEO of the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Institute of Good Governance and Policy Analysis, is returning to his original cadre, Assam-Meghalaya.
Hajela was kicked out of the Social Justice Department just the day before. Hajela is a member of the Assam cadre of the IAS 1995 class.
He was moved to Madhya Pradesh in 2019 as a result of a Supreme Court judgement, since the NRC controversy posed a threat to his safety. Hajela is now returning to his own country.
