Daulat Desai, a 2008-batch IAS officer, has resigned from service and wrote on Facebook that it was "quite depressing to lie dumped in the backyard". "I've...voluntarily stepped out of the so-called steel frame, Indian Administrative Service, leaving behind all...Power, Security, Status and Prestige!" he wrote. "Now it's time to shed...'aura' of IAS and be a 'Common Man'," Desai added.
