Rudraprayag, Aug 03 (ANI): Dr. Raghav Langer, who hails from Trikutanagar in Jammu, is one among many civil servants from Jammu and Kashmir who are working hard towards nation building. An MBBS graduate, Dr. Raghav Langer bagged the first position in Kashmir Administrative Services examination in 2007. When he tried his hand at Civil Service examination in 2008, he secured the 21st position. Dr. Langer was allocated the Uttarakhand cadre and is presently posted as District Magistrate in Rudraprayag. In June 2013, Kedarnath town in his district suffered extensive destruction due to flash floods caused by torrential rains in the state.
