A farmer from Uttar Pradesh filed a complaint Against Indra Dev, the God of rain, and sought action against him for lack of rain and drought conditions. A senior revenue department official in the district allegedly recommended action against Indra Dev.
Sumit Kumar Yadav, a resident of Jhala village in Gond district, filed the complaint on Sampurna Samadhan Divas or Total Redressal Day conducted on Saturday in the village.
The form which is going viral on social media shows that the complaint was filed against “Indra Devta (Bhagwan ji).”
In his complaint, Yadav wrote that lack of rainfall has impacted lives of people. “All are suffering owing to lack of rains. I, therefore, request you (district magistrate) to take action against Indra Bhagwan”, he wrote.
As per reports, revenue official NN Verma received the letter and forwarded it to District Magistrate for action.
“No such matter came to me. The seal seen on that complaint letter is a duplicate seal. The complaints received in the Sampurna Samadhan Divas are nominated to respective departments and these complaints are never forwarded to any other offices. So, this whole thing looks concocted. This is being investigated”, Verma told Dainik Jagran.
