Former IAS officer Shah Faesal, who had quit the government service in 2019 citing rising intolerance in the country and to float a political party, has rejoined the service, officials said on Thursday reported Press Trust of India.
They said Faesal’s resignation had not been accepted. Faesal’s services have been kept at the disposal of the J-K’s general administration department, the officials said, adding he is awaiting the orders of posting.
Faesal, who was the first UPSC topper from Jammu and Kashmir, had on Wednesday dropped hints about his return to the government service.
In a series of tweets, he spoke about his idealism letting him down in 2019 when he resigned from the government service to join politics.
