Madhya Pradesh Weighs IAS Transfers Over Farmer, Oustee Issues
The Madhya Pradesh government may move some senior officials to different jobs.
Officials are being assessed on how well they handled farmers and people displaced by development projects.
The government received complaints about rehabilitation work in Panna.
It also believes some officials may not have handled farmer protests effectively.
Collectors in Panna, Narmadapuram and Harda could therefore be transferred.
Two women and child development officials may also be moved after complaints about workplace relations.
Some senior secretaries may have one of their departments taken away because they currently manage several important departments.
The final transfer list will be issued after the chief minister and chief secretary discuss it again.
The Madhya Pradesh government is preparing a third list of IAS officer transfers.
District collectors may be shifted based on performance, including rehabilitation and handling farmer protests.
Panna’s rehabilitation work for people displaced by major projects reportedly showed irregularities.
Collectors in Panna, Narmadapuram and Harda may face transfers over reported administrative concerns.
The government may also redistribute departmental responsibilities among senior principal secretaries and shift two women and child development officials.
