Banswara, September 27: A senior IAS officer, Archana Singh, has been removed from her post as Secretary of Rajasthan’s Department of Information Technology and Communication (IT&C) shortly after technical glitches marred a public meeting attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Banswara. The meeting, held at Napla village on September 25, faced multiple audio-visual disruptions, including a nearly 10-minute cut in the live video feed as the PM reached the stage. In an order issued on September 25, the IT&C department, which was responsible for organising and managing technical arrangements for the event, cited “administrative reasons” for Singh’s removal, reported Indian Express. Archana Singh, an officer of the 2009 IAS batch, did not respond to calls or messages seeking her comment. The Department of Personnel also refrained from providing further details on the decision, though Singh is reportedly awaiting a fresh posting.
