An IAS officer of Uttar Pradesh, along with his administrative work, has also made a place among the people through his songs, ghazals, books. Many of his albums have been released. A few days back, IAS Hariom met the caretaker Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Yogi Adityanath and presented him with his book. IAS Hariom is the same officer who once arrested Yogi Adityanath. Then he was in the headlines for many days.
Sharing a picture of his meeting with CM Yogi on Twitter, IAS Hariom wrote, “I presented my book ‘Kailash Mansarovar Yatra: Ideological Dimensions of Faith’ along with congratulating him on the victory.”
IAS Hariom has been the DM of many districts of UP. But during his posting in Gorakhpur, he arrested the then MP Yogi Adityanath and sent him to jail. Then Yogi Adityanath had to stay in jail for 11 days. It is about 2007 when there was an atmosphere of communal tension in Gorakhpur. At that time, the then MP Yogi Adityanath announced a dharna, after which the atmosphere was expected to get worse. The district administration stopped Yogi before entering the city, but there was a ruckus.
Then DM Hari Om had directed the arrest of Yogi Adityanath for inciting communal feelings and not following the order. Yogi had to stay in jail for 11 days after his arrest. However, Hariom was removed only 24 hours after this arrest.
Many albums of 1997 batch IAS officer Dr. Hariom have also come out. It is said about him that he wanted to become a singer, but then he became an IAS officer. Hari Om has also been very fond of writing and even after selection in the IAS, his interest in writing did not diminish. Hariom has also written many books. At present, Dr. Hariom takes out time to sing ghazals in his busy time. Dr. Hariom was born in a small village Katari in Amethi district. Music had settled in his veins in the rural setting.
