Senior IAS officer Sanjeev Khirwar has been appointed as the Municipal Commissioner of Delhi’s MCD, marking his return to the capital after more than three years. He was transferred out of Delhi in 2022 following a controversy where it was alleged that a stadium was cleared early for him and his wife to walk their dog, which he later denied. With his new role, Khirwar will handle major civic issues such as sanitation, road conditions, and the growing street dog problem in Delhi. His appointment comes at a time when the city is facing public concern over stray dogs and urban management challenges. (PC: X)
