RAIPUR: As controversy spiralled over
Bastar collector Amit Kataria's
welcoming Prime Minister Narendra
Modi during his recent visit to
Chhattisgarh in striped shirt and
shades, the IAS officer defended
himself on social networking sites
saying a formal suit or a 'bandhgala'
at sweltering 40 degrees was
impractical.
Kataria remained incommunicado to
the media, but he sent WhatsApp
messages to a group of senior IAS
and IPS officers "clarifying" his
position.
"Bastar is very hot in May with
temperatures above 40. Wearing
bandhgala for hours while looking
after arrangements is not practical. I
was dressed in complete formal
dress, blue shirt, black trousers,
black leather shoes (not t-shirt or
chappals, and blue is a good colour
in formal shirts)," Kataria wrote.

Unfortunately in India, media highlights these type of issues rather than highlighting common people problems.
They need news only.....
