With just a month remaining until the Lok Sabha elections, the Nitish Kumar-led Bihar government has initiated a significant overhaul in the bureaucracy. A directive from the General Administration Department, Bihar, has led to the transfer and appointment of 15 IAS and 8 IPS officers.

The directive affects high-ranking officers, including secretaries and principal secretaries from various departments, as well as District Magistrates of Jehanabad, Katihar, and Sitamarhi.

Among the notable transfers, Mr. Deepak Kumar Singh (1992 batch) of the Cooperation Department is now the Additional Chief Secretary in the Revenue and Land Reforms Department. Additionally, Mr. Parmar Ravi Manubhai (1992 batch) has been appointed as the Additional Chief Secretary in Mines and Geology Commissioner.

Other appointments include Mr. Anand Kishore (1996 batch) as Principal Secretary in the Urban Development and Housing Department and Mr. Santosh Kumar Malla (1997 batch) as Principal Secretary in the Cooperatives Department.

Furthermore, Mr. Anupam Kumar (2003 batch), serving as a Secretary in the Chief Minister’s Secretariat, has been given the added responsibility of a Secretary in the Parliamentary Affairs department. Mr. Dharmendra Kumar, currently the principal director of the Department of Mines and Geology, will now serve as secretary in the same department.
