DC of Dakshina Kannada Sasikanth Senthil Resigns
Mangaluru: The Deputy Commissioner of Dakshina Kannada Sasikanth Senthil has resigned from the post on September 6.
In his resignation letter dated September 6, Sasikanth Senthil has stated, “I have tendered my resignation from the Indian Administrative service today. At this juncture, it is important for me to clarify that this decision is purely a personal one. It is in no way connected to anyone or any event in my current profile as the Deputy Commissioner of Dakshina Kannada district. I must mention that the people and the public representatives of DK district have been extremely kind to me and I owe an apology to them for discontinuing the job vested on me midway”.
He further stated, “I have taken this decision as I feel that it is unethical for me to continue as a civil servant in the government when the fundamental building blocks of our diverse democracy are being compromised in an unprecedented manner. I also feel strongly that the coming days will present extremely difficult challenges to the basic fabric of our nation and that I would be better off outside the IAS to continue with my work at making life better for all. It simply cannot be business as usual anymore. I once again express my heartfelt gratitude for all who have worked with me in all capacities and in the process have formed a thread of friendship with me”.
“I wish well for all my fellow staff and their families”, DC Senthil.
