The Kerala government on Wednesday abruptly transferred an IAS officer who reportedly acted against the land mafia in the state’s finance capital, Kochi, reported Malayala Manorama. This has come less than two months after the Pinarayi Vijayan-led LDF government faced public ire for its alleged targeting of another IAS officer, Sriram Venkataraman, who was on a mission to evict encroached land in the hill station of Munnar.
