In a major administrative reshuffle in Chhattisgarh, the state government led by Vishnudev Sai has transferred and posted 20 IAS officers across the state, including three collectors. The order, issued by the General Administration, reflects strategic changes across various departments and regions.

Among the notable transfers, IAS Ritu Jain of the 2003 batch has been transferred to Delhi on central deputation. She will assume her new role at the CSIDC Delhi Headquarters, a move expected to bring her expertise to the national level.

In a major development within Chhattisgarh, 2008 batch IAS officer Mahadev Kavre has been appointed as the Commissioner for the Raipur Division.

Additionally, Sharda Verma, an IAS officer of 2008 batch, has been assigned dual responsibilities in the Finance Department and the Commercial Tax (Registration) Department.

The order also includes key changes in district collector positions. IAS Vinay Kumar Langeh has been appointed as the Collector of Mahasamund, while IAS Chandan Sanjay Tripathi will take over as Collector of Korea, and IAS Sanvit Mishra has been designated as Collector of Bijapur.

Further administrative adjustments include the appointment of 2005 batch IAS officer Neelam Namdev Ekka as the Commissioner for Bilaspur, marking a strategic realignment in the region’s oversight.
