The transfer of IAS officer Ashok Khemka has raised many questions. The fact that his transfer came in the wake of Khemka ordering an investigation into the Vadra-DLF land deals, the government should initiate a probe into the entire issue. Proper norms should be observed in the transfer of IAS officers. There should be a mechanism in force to monitor transfers and the sale of Panchayat and government land to private parties.
