New Delhi: Backing Uttar Pradesh IAS officer Durga Shakti Nagpal for her crackdown on sand mining mafia, Union Minister Manish Tewari today said officials who check illegalities should be saluted and not suspended.
"I think the bureaucracy works according to the law of the land. Officers like her who deal with aberrations, who check illegalities, should be saluted and not suspended," the Information and Broadcasting Minister told media.
On alleged illegal mining in Punjab, the Congress MP from Ludhiana said, officers like Ms Nagpal are needed in the state to curb the malpractice.
"...we wish we had a few officers like Nagpal in Punjab, where a lot of illegal mining is going on," Mr Tewari said.
