I am reinstating the line in the lead section: "His tenure in these roles was marked by several controversies that attracted public and judicial attention." This line reflects significant incidents during T.V.S.N. Prasad’s tenure, as documented by reliable sources. These events, such as the Supreme Court criticism over stubble burning and the post-retirement benefits proposal, were widely reported and meet the threshold for inclusion under Wikipedia’s core policies:
1) WP:V (Verifiability): The controversies are supported by independent, reliable sources (The Tribune, Economic Times, Hindustan Times).
2) WP:DUE (Due Weight): These incidents received considerable public and judicial attention, making them significant aspects of his tenure in these roles.
3) WP:NPOV (Neutral Point of View): The phrasing is factual, neutral, and reflects how these events were covered in the media.
I understand the concern that officers often face complaints during their tenures, but the focus here is on controversies that rose to the level of public and judicial scrutiny, as reported by sources. Including this line in the lead provides readers with a balanced overview of his tenure. I’m open to discussing this further to ensure consensus and compliance with Wikipedia’s guidelines.

I’ve noticed that the sentence regarding T.V.S.N. Prasad’s tenure and associated controversies has been removed again by Bharat1915 without providing further reasoning on this Talk Page. I have restored the sentence because: 1) It is supported by reliable, independent sources, which document significant public and judicial attention. 2) The controversies are not speculative or personal attacks: they refer to well-documented events during his public service. 3) The phrasing complies with Wikipedia’s policies on neutrality (WP:NPOV) and due weight (WP:DUE) by summarizing important details without exaggeration. I believe further discussion here is necessary before any additional removals, and I’m open to addressing any specific concerns. Thouartmylife (talk) 19:58, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
