It is likely that the upcoming week will bring this positive development. Sources suggest that the government has decided to carry out a major reshuffle within the administration, aiming to enhance efficiency and streamline the entire administrative machinery.

Sources indicate that the list includes the names of approximately 60 IAS officers, ranging from ACS to secretaries, HODs and collectors. Notably, over a dozen collectors are expected to be changed from their current field positions.

Although this list was overdue. But now it has become necessary to release it immediately because just this week, a vacuum of half a dozen IAS officers has been created. Three IAS-Bhanu Prakash Yeturu, Ashutosh A.T Pednekar and Bhagwati Prasad Kalal have been called to Delhi on deputation. While 3 IAS officers-Mahesh Sharma, Urmila Rajoria and Sushma Arora have retired. DOP has already given additional charge to 24 IAS. This situation has reached a saturation point. Now giving an additional charge of half a dozen IAS will be impractical and inappropriate.

In this context, there is cause for action to issue the transfer list immediately. 3 IAS officers currently on APO (Awaiting Posting Order) are required to be given work.
