In a major bureaucratic reshuffle, the Telangana government has transferred 10 IAS officers, giving them new postings.
The transfers appear to be part of the reshuffling of officers as there is now a change of guard in the state.
With this, the Congress — in power in Telangana — seems to be preparing its team to implement its welfare and development works ahead of the Lok Sabha elections.
Among the officers transferred is Anita Ramachandran, who was the secretary of the Telangana State Public Service Commission (TSPSC).
She has now been posted as the commissioner for Panchayati Raj and Rural Development.
Dr E Naveen Nicolas — a 2018-batch IAS officer — has been posted in her place.
He was the secretary of the Telangana Social Welfare Residential Educational Institutions Society (TSWREIS) and the Telangana Tribal Welfare Residential Educational Institutions Society (TTWREIS).
The transfer took place against the backdrop of the state government’s renewed efforts to cleanse the TSPSC after it came under a cloud over its inept handling of competitive examinations and leakage of question papers for recruitment to various posts in the state government.
M Hanumantha Rao, who was the commissioner for Panchayati Raj and Rural Development, has been appointed the commissioner for the Information and Public Relations Department.
Ashok Reddy, who was holding this position, will now be the new director of horticulture.
B Gopi, the director of the Agriculture Department, will hold the additional charge of the commissioner for fisheries, taking over from Lachiram Bhukya who has been repatriated to his parent cadre.
B Bala Maya Devi, the chief rationing officer in Hyderabad, has been posted as commissioner for BC Welfare — an existing vacancy.
A Nirmala Kanthi Wesley, managing director of Telangana Christian Minorities’ Finance Corporation, has been posted as the director for Women and Child Development, relieving Vakati Karuna.
Wesley will also hold the post of managing director of the Women Finance Corporation.
K Sitha Mahalakshmi, who has been waiting for a posting, will now be the secretary of the TSWREIS and the TTWREIS.
G Phaneendra Reddy, who has also been waiting for a posting, will now be the chief rationing officer of Hyderabad, in the vacancy caused by the transfer of B Bala Maya Devi.
VSNV Prasad, the director of Zoo Parks in Hyderabad will now be the director of the Civil Supplies Department.
