Twitter India redressal officer quits days after given charge. US-based replacement does’t meet IT norms.

Twitter’s Local grievance redressal officer Dharmendra Chatur has moved out of the company within weeks of being given charge. 

The development comes at a time when microblogging platforms are facing severe regulatory heat in India over the new IT rules and other run-ins with law enforcement agencies. 

The company, which was found to be in violation of the new rules, has now got in its global legal policy director Jeremy Kessel for the position, although his appointment is not seen to be in line without guidelines, which mandate that the grievance redressal officer should be based out of India . kessel, who has been with Twitter for a number of years, is based out of San Francisco. 

According to the new rules, the Key officers are required to be on the payroll of the global headquarters, and not be hired by the indian subsidiaries.
