The assignments are part of a transfer/posting order of 18 IAS officers issued on Wednesday. Earlier, the Haryana government had sought a two-year extension in the service of three senior IAS officers—Rajeev Arora, Devender Singh and PK Das. However, when the government did not get any response from Centre till July 31, Rajeev Arora and Devender Singh retired after attaining superannuation. While on the same day, two other IAS officers – RS Verma and Amarjeet Mann – also retired, PK Das is scheduled to retire on August 31.

With the retirement of four IAS officers in a day, the reshuffling in the bureaucracy was needed to be undertaken. Rajeev Arora was looking after important portfolios like home and health. Now, TVSN Prasad will look after home, jails, criminal investigation and administration of justice and cooperation departments.
