Karnataka Transfers 80% Mining Dept Staff

The Karnataka government has transferred nearly 80% of the staff in the Department of Mines and Geology.

This big change includes moving 160 officers, like geologists and deputy directors, to new places.

The goal is to make the department more honest and stop illegal mining.

The government thinks this will help officials work better without local or political pressure.

It also hopes to collect more money from mining.

This is one of the biggest changes ever in this department, and it shows the government wants to be more open and accountable.
