The Chief Executive Officer of Asansol Durgapur Development Authority (ADDA) Aditi Choudhury (2014 IAS batch) had been holding dual charge.
Singh was the additional district magistrate (ADM) of Malda prior to today's notification issued by the Nabanna secretariat.
An earlier missive had appointed her as the CEO of ADDA, but the latest communication specifies that Choudhury would continue at ADDA and hand over her AMC post to Singh.
