Madhya Pradesh Transfers 32 IAS Officers in Major Reshuffle
The Madhya Pradesh government moved 32 senior administrative officers to new jobs.
These officers work in places such as district panchayats, municipal corporations and government departments.
Ajay Kumar Devwal was reported as getting a senior job in Bhopal Municipal Corporation.

Other officers were sent to work in cities including Gwalior, Satna and Indore.
Some newer officers became revenue officers in different districts.
One report also said four State Administrative Service officers were transferred.
The reports use different names and postings for some officers, so those details could not be reconciled.
