In a minor bureaucratic reshuffle, Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena has ordered the transfer of two IAS officers and one DANICS officer in a move aimed at optimizing administrative efficiency.

Ashish Chandra Verma (IAS: 1994: AGMUT), currently serving as Principal Secretary for Finance with an additional portfolio in Planning, has been assigned additional responsibilities as Principal Secretary (Revenue) cum Divisional Commissioner and Principal Secretary for Land & Building. This shift is expected to enhance the coordination between these crucial departments.

K Mahesh (IAS: 2009: AGMUT), previously holding the position of Special Director in the UTCS, will now serve as Special Secretary in the Department for Welfare of SC/ST/OBC/Minorities. He replaces Neeraj Bharti (IAS: 2013: AGMUT), who has been relieved of his duties in this role.

Additionally, Anil Banka (DANICS: 1997), who has been working with the New Delhi Municipal Corporation, has been appointed as the new Deputy Commissioner for South East.

These changes reflect the ongoing efforts to streamline governance and enhance public service delivery in the capital. Further adjustments and appointments are anticipated as the administration seeks to address emerging challenges and improve departmental effectiveness.
