The Kerala High Court had already criticized the departing collector for the Ernakulam district. The Suo-Moto fire event was brought before the high court, which also requested that IAS Renu Raj appears in front of the court for a hearing. But reportedly, IAS Raj did not show up in front of the judges and sent a representative from disaster management.
Judges from the Kerala High Court criticized the action right away and inquired as to whether IAS Renu Raj was experiencing difficulty as a result of breathing dirty air. The court also ruled that IAS could not surrender her duty in such a manner.
Following this, within 24 hours, the state administration delivered the transfer letter to the Ernakulam district collector. She will now be in charge of the Wayanad district. However, due to all this, she has become a hot topic of discussion, with many people trying to find out more about her. So, here’s what we know about her:
