CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: In a recent development, two Kerala IAS officers have been suspended for indiscipline, with one of them being widely recognized as “Collector Bro.” The suspension came after a series of complaints regarding their behavior, which allegedly violated the code of conduct expected from senior government officials. The two officers were found to have engaged in actions that were deemed disrespectful to the public and their colleagues, leading to their immediate suspension by the Kerala state government.
The officer known as “Collector Bro” gained attention in 2021 due to his social media presence, where he became a viral figure for his informal and friendly interactions with the public. His informal style earned both praise and criticism, but it is now clear that his actions crossed a line, according to the disciplinary committee. The suspension of the officers follows an internal investigation into their conduct, which revealed that their actions were not in line with the ethical standards set by the government.
The suspension has sparked a significant debate about professionalism and accountability in government service. While some argue that a more informal approach could improve the public’s perception of bureaucrats, others believe that maintaining a strict code of conduct is vital to preserving the integrity of government institutions.
The Kerala government has stated that it takes indiscipline very seriously and that these actions were necessary to uphold the dignity of public service. The suspension serves as a reminder to all civil servants about the importance of adhering to ethical and professional conduct standards in their duties.
