Nanded, April 9 A group of people with disabilities has demanded the cancellation of the transfer of Indian Administrative Service officer Tukaram Mundhe, who served as Secretary in the Divyang Kalyan (Disability Welfare) Department.
The group protested outside the Nanded collector's office on Wednesday, raising slogans to press for their demand.
Mundhe was recently appointed Secretary, Disaster Management, Rehabilitation, Revenue and Forest Department at Mantralaya, the state secretariat in Mumbai.
The protesters said that during his tenure in the disability welfare department, Mundhe, considered an upright civil servant, took several decisions in favour of persons with disabilities, earning their respect and trust.
Similar protests opposing Mundhe's transfer had earlier been held near Mantralaya.
This latest transfer is Mundhe's 24th posting in 21 years of his career in the bureaucracy.
