UP Govt Appoints 826 Block Heads as Administrators

In Uttar Pradesh, India, the government has appointed 826 block heads as administrators after their term ended.

This is the first time that block heads, along with district panchayat chairpersons and village heads, have been appointed as administrators.

Normally, a Block Development Officer would take this role, but the government has decided to keep the block heads in their positions.

They will handle daily tasks but cannot make big decisions without the government's approval.

The government will soon provide more details about what these administrators can and cannot do.

There is also a legal case about appointing village heads as administrators in the Allahabad High Court.
