Mangaluru, Sept 6: In a surprise move, Sasikanth Senthil, the Deputy Commissioner of Dakshina Kannada today tendered his resignation from the Indian Administrative Service citing personal reasons.

Though he called his decision “purely personal one”, Mr Santhil added: “I have taken this decision as I feel that it is unethical to continue as a civil servant in the government when fundamental building blocks of our diverse democracy are being compromised in an unprecedented manner.”

“The coming days would present extremely difficult challenges in the basic fabric of the Nation. As such it would be better to be outside IAS to continue my work,” Mr. Senthil said.

The 2009 batch IAS officer, who hails from Tamil Nadu, was posted as DC of DK in October 2017. Previously he had served as the DC of Raichur. He holds a BE degree in electrical and communications

First time in our peace loving South Kanara history a appointed IAs office resign from the post> Earlier ONE more brave Police officer of Tamilnaad origin resigned and  desided to discontinue his Govt Officer duty.

 

hs there any brave courage person to ask or question th govt. Why all these started in KARNATAKA who is behind  and why these goons trying to tie our sincere on duty officer hand. 

Deal all these are the clear sign be ready to keep safe our South Kanara peace full daily life. The communal group already started to funding their south Kanara wings and training in progress to spoil out communal harmony. They will start to attack a famous place or a famous person and later come up with  patriot lable  to protest and start to attack thier targets of particular community.

Please stand togther to thorw them out from our Tulunaadu South Kanara.

In Kerala their plan was totally spoiled and broken by a brave police officer and all culprits and their THUNDU leaders are behind bar.

Dhikkar to Desh Drohi.
