Surat civic chief transferred after controversial demolitions

In a city called Surat in India, some buildings were knocked down and people lost their homes.

The top city official in charge at the time was M Nagarajan.

More than two months after the demolitions, the state government moved him to a different job.

His new job is in the Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan department, which works on school education.

A court called the Gujarat High Court is looking into what happened.

People who lost their homes filed a petition asking the court for help.

The court wondered why the official still had his old job while the investigation was happening.

The court said the investigation would not be fair if the same leaders stayed in charge.

The court asked the government to explain, and now the official has been transferred.
