Watch: IAS Officer's "Aukaat" Remark Sparks Row. Then A Clarification
Amid ongoing protests by truckers, a video of Shajapur district collector in Madhya Pradesh questioning "aukat" (status) of a driver during a meeting on Tuesday surfaced on social media. Collector Kishor Kanyal later expressed regret over the use of the word. The collector lost his cool during a meeting with the representatives of a drivers' union. The video clip shows the collector asking drivers and others not to take the law into their own hands when a representative of divers asked him to talk nicely. At this, Kanyal flew off his handle and asked the concerned person, "Kya Karoge Tum, Kya Aukat Hai Tumhari?"
