MP Government Reshuffles IAS Officers
The Madhya Pradesh government has made some big changes in the jobs of its senior officers.
Mrinal Meena, who was in charge of Balaghat, is now the new head of Chhatarpur.
Parth Jaiswal, who was in Chhatarpur, is moving to Shahdol.
This change happened because Misha Singh, who was supposed to go to Shahdol, said no because of health problems.
Parth Jaiswal did a lot of important work in Chhatarpur, like managing a big river project and visits by the President and Prime Minister.
The government says these changes are good for everyone, but sometimes officers might find it hard to move so often.
Mrinal Meena appointed as the new Collector of Chhatarpur, replacing Parth Jaiswal.
Parth Jaiswal transferred to Shahdol due to Misha Singh's health-related decline of the posting.
Jaiswal oversaw the Ken-Betwa River Linking Project and high-profile visits during his tenure.
The reshuffle involves several senior IAS officers across Madhya Pradesh.
Misha Singh, a 2016-batch IAS officer, declined the Shahdol posting due to health reasons.
