Even as multiple Secretary-level posts at the Centre are vacant, the Delhi government effected a bureaucratic reshuffle across various posts in the capital’s civic bodies as well as the Lieutenant Governor’s Secretariat on Tuesday.
According to sources, several senior IAS officers had come to the end of their tenure at the helm of postings in Delhi government departments as well as civic bodies and were scheduled to be empanelled at the Centre; this would have ripple effect on more postings in Delhi and was likely to be the last such exercise before the 2024 Lok Sabha elections as the Model Code of Conduct will be put in force in the run-up to the elections.
On Tuesday, six bureaucrats were part of a reshuffle within Delhi impacting bodies such as the Municipal Corporation of Delhi, the Delhi Development Authority, the New Delhi Municipal Council and sub-divisions under the Delhi government’s revenue department.
These included the appointment of 2010-batch AGMUT cadre IAS officer Sakshi Mittal, who was posted as Additional Commissioner (MCD) as Special Secretary to the L-G and the transfer of DDA Commissioner Tariq Thomas, a 2011 batch IAS officer, to the MCD as additional Commissioner.
Thomas will be replaced by 2014-batch IAS officer Ruhee Dugg; 2015-batch IAS officer Vedhita Reddy has been posted as Deputy Commissioner (north east) and 2018-batch IAS officer Amol Srivastava as DC (east). District Magistrate (east) Anil Banka, a 1997-batch DANICS officer, has been posted in the NDMC.
Sources said two secretary-level posts at the Centre – those in the departments of Legal Affairs and Defence Production — are vacant, a vacancy in the Department of Consumer Affairs will be created at the end of March; the Centre may issue an order this month to fill these on the heels of the Lok Sabha elections.
