The Naveen Patnaik led Odisha government has appointed 2020 batch IAS officer Chavan Kunal Motiram as ADM Padampur. He was working as the sub-collector, Balasore.
This decision was taken by the government, after it was unable to declare Padampur as a separate district due to an order by the Orissa High Court.
CM has approved the proposal for the creation of a new post of ADM Padampur in Bargarh district, an official release of the CMO mentioned.
The ADM Padampur office will further strengthen the administration in the region and help to promptly address public grievances and speed up development activities, the release said.
The HC has directed the state government not to form any new district without its consent.
