The Haryana government Saturday transferred 16 IAS officers, including Rewari’s Deputy Commissioner Mohd Imran Raza who had issued showcause notices to several sarpanches and panchayat members for passing resolutions or writing letters barring the entry of Muslims to their villages following the July 31 communal violence in Nuh.
