Poor IAS officers
Unhappy with the recent transfers, two senior IAS officers of Madhya Pradesh decided to meet Chief Minister without knowing the consequences. They got a dressing down from otherwise calm Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan. After listening them patiently, Chief Minister not only managed to convince them that no injustice happened with them but also gave them a lesson that they should not waste their time on petty issues. Poor officers now left with no option then to return empty handed.
