In his Facebook post yesterday, the officer, identified as Sanjay Waghmare, purportedly stated that "nothing is actually changing on ground".
When contacted, Waghmare said today, "I have removed the post and I don't want to comment on it".
He struck off the post apparently after it went viral and started attracting 'likes and comments'.
The incident came on the heels of two IAS officers from state inviting the wrath of the government for their comments on the social media.
The FB post was, however, deleted within few hours.
A few days back, Barwani collector Ajay Singh Gangwar was shunted out after he had praised former prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru in his Facebook post.
He was slapped a show cause notice on Monday for allegedly advocating a 'jan kranti' (people's revolution) against Prime Minister Narendra Modi through a Facebook comment.
