Kakinada: They are all candidates who have successfully qualified in India’s toughest civil services examination Indian Administrative Service (IAS). They are now serving in the East Godavari district holding different posts, but on Wednesday all the IAS officers turned into cricket players.
District Collector Kartikeya Mishra, Joint Collector A Mallikarjuna and Rajahmundry Commissioner Vijaya Rama Raju wore the white uniform as the cricketers wear to play in the field.
All the three have practised cricket for hours for the revenue employees’ sports and cultural programmes scheduled to be held for three days beginning from Thursday.
The three officers practised bowling and batting in the nets at the sports authority stadium. The rest of the Collectorate staff and other revenue employees were surprised to see the top officials practising.
