In another bureaucratic reshuffle effected by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), two senior Indian Police Service (IPS) officers were transferred out and a senior Indian Administrative Service (IAS) and IPS officer, each, were posted in the capital on Friday.
Sources said the move paved the way for changes at the helm of significant bodies such as the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC), and multiple Delhi government departments over the coming days.
“Several senior IAS officers are scheduled to be empanelled at the Centre, making them eligible for postings in the Government of India, which will have a ripple effect on postings in the Delhi government and other bodies currently helmed by IAS officers whose tenure is coming to an end,” a source said.
Prashant Goyal, an AGMUT cadre IAS officer of the 1993 batch who is presently Member, Finance Commission for the Union Territories of Andaman & Nicobar Islands, Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu, Ladakh and Lakshadweep, was posted to Delhi with immediate effect.
Goyal’s posting came days after 1994-batch AGMUT cadre IAS officer Navin Kumar Choudhary was transferred to Delhi from Mizoram on January 29; he was among eight IAS and 12 IPS officers to be transferred as part of a reshuffle across several UTs.
Among the IPS officers, 1995-batch AGMUT cadre officer Madhup Tiwari was transferred to Chandigarh and 1997-batch officer Surender Singh Yadav to Andaman and Nicobar Islands as Director Generals of Police, respectively. Yadav will replace 1995-batch officer Devesh Chandra Srivastava who has been transferred to the capital.
