Himachal Pradesh Transfers Kullu DC and SP Following High Court Order on Rave Parties
The Himachal Pradesh government transferred Kullu district's Deputy Commissioner Anurag Chander Sharma and Superintendent of Police Madan Lal following a High Court order addressing their failure to prevent large-scale rave parties in Manali's Parvati Valley. The transfers aim to facilitate an impartial inquiry, with new appointments including IPS officer Abhishek as SP and Surjit Rathore given additional charge as DC. The Supreme Court declined to intervene, and the High Court has also ordered an FIR and a Special Investigation Team to investigate the events.
