Himachal Minister Criticizes Non-Local Officers Over Alleged Disregard for State Interests

Himachal Pradesh PWD Minister Vikramaditya Singh criticized some IAS and IPS officers from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar for allegedly disregarding the state's culture and interests, echoing Deputy CM Mukesh Agnihotri's earlier remarks warning bureaucrats against acting against the government. Singh emphasized that officers should serve Himachal's people rather than act like rulers and expressed concerns over arbitrary fund allocations. He called for timely action to protect the state's interests, while affirming respect for officers from other states and the Centre-state framework.
