Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Thursday refused to accept the resignation of a 2014 batch woman IAS officer of Haryana cadre, R Nagar, who had resigned three days ago citing apprehensions of "personal safety on government duty".

Taking to Twitter, Gurjar wrote, "I am sharing a happy news with all of you that CM Manohar Lal Khattar has refused to accept the resignation of Haryana cadre IAS officer R Nagar. I express my gratitude to Chief Minister Manohar Lal ji from the depths of my heart for rejecting the resignation."

"He also deserve to be congratulated because he has recommended to the central government to change R Nagar's IAS cadre Haryana to her Home State," he added.

"Our effort is that no kind of injustice can be done with R Nagar. For this, continuous talks were held at the top level in the Haryana government," Gurjar tweeted.

"We had earlier also assured that since the Government of Haryana is sensitive to the interests of daughters, the interests of R Nagar will not be compromised. My blessings are always with the R Nagar," he added.

The officer, R Nagar, tendered her resignation through a letter to Chief Secretary, Government of Haryana, on May 4.
