Noida District Magistrate transferred for lapse in Covid-19 management

Singh was removed after Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath gave him a dressing down during a review meeting in Noida on Monday. The Chief Minister was particularly angry over the lapse made by Singh in management of the coronavirus crisis.

Noida has so far reported the maximum number of positive coronavirus cases at 38.

As a video clip of the Chief Minister mounting a scathing attack on Singh went viral on social media, the latter sent a letter to the UP Chief Secretary seeking a three-month leave.

The letter, is it said, was leaked to the media by Singh.

Sources said that the Chief Minister has now instituted an inquiry against Singh before any action is taken against him.

Meanwhile, Suhas LY, whose full name is Suhas Lalinakere Yathiraj, is also a professional para-badminton player, currently ranked World No. 2 in men's singles.
