Overview
- The Haryana government issued late Wednesday transfer orders moving 15 IAS officers with immediate effect.
- Uttam Singh, a 2015-batch officer, was named Gurugram deputy commissioner, replacing Ajay Kumar, who entered the Chief Minister’s Office as Deputy Principal Secretary-II in a new post.
- Anand Kumar Sharma, earlier Rohtak municipal commissioner, was appointed deputy commissioner of Karnal after Singh’s shift to Gurugram.
- The Chief Minister’s aide Saket Kumar was moved from a powerful role to the Archives Department, a posting coverage described as lower-profile in bureaucratic practice.
- Additional changes reassigned senior portfolios, moving Vineet Garg to Printing and Stationery and Pankaj Agarwal to Architecture, while others took extra charges in irrigation, panchayats, cooperation, finance, revenue, public health engineering and health; the overhaul came days after Haryana sought a CBI probe, though no official link has been stated.
