This directive, aimed at maintaining impartiality during the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, necessitated the removal of home secretaries concurrently holding roles in chief minister’s offices. Responding to this directive on Monday, the Jharkhand government proposed three candidates for consideration: Vandana Dadel, Manish Ranjan (IAS:2002:JH), and Aboobacker Siddique P (IAS:2003:JH). Ultimately, Vandana Dadel emerged as the selected candidate to assume the important role of Home Secretary in Jharkhand.
