Article Today, Haryana:
IAS officer Ashok Khemka, famous for fighting corruption, retired yesterday. In his 30-year career, he was transferred 57 times—an incredible number! His story is full of courage and honesty. As he leaves his job as Managing Director of the Haryana State Warehousing Corporation, people across India admire him for his strong principles.
A Bold and Honest Career…
Ashok Khemka, who joined the IAS in 1991, was known for standing up to powerful people. In 2012, he made news by uncovering problems in land deals linked to Robert Vadra, a well-known figure. This brave act brought him praise but also challenges. Still, Khemka never backed down from doing what was right. “I did my job honestly,” he said.
So Many Transfers!
Being transferred 57 times in 30 years is rare. For Khemka, these moves happened because he fought against corruption, like land scams and wrongdoing in government. He called the transfers “part of the job,” but people saw them as proof that he shook up a dishonest system. On social media, people are praising him. “Ashok Khemka is a true hero. He will inspire many,” one person wrote on X. Another said, “He fought for what’s right!”.
What will he Do Next?
Khemka will he work for social causes, write a book, or guide young officers? Friends say he wants to keep helping people, maybe in a new way. Whatever he does, his impact will continue. As Haryana says goodbye to this great officer, India thanks him and hopes others will follow his path of truth.
