Sanjeev Khirwar, former Delhi IAS officer, appointed Municipal Commissioner amid past controversy over stadium closure.

Sanjeev Khirwar, a 1994-batch IAS officer, has been appointed as Delhi's new Municipal Commissioner, succeeding Ashwani Kumar. The appointment comes after his 2022 transfer from Delhi, which sparked controversy for allegedly closing Thyagaraj Stadium early for dog walking. Khirwar, who served in Ladakh following the incident, is expected to lead the Municipal Corporation of Delhi as it prepares its budget and addresses ongoing administrative and financial issues.
