Mumbai: The Devendra Fadnavis-led Mahayuti government in Maharashtra has initiated yet another round of key administrative reshuffles, continuing the trend of frequent bureaucratic changes that has defined its second term. On Tuesday, four more IAS officers were transferred, days after the transfer of eight other senior officials.
This latest reshuffle further intensifies the administrative restructuring drive being carried out at the top levels of governance across departments and districts.
New Appointments Announced
As per the orders issued-
2014 batch promotee IAS officer Parag Soman, who was serving as the Chief Executive Officer of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA), Thane, has been transferred as Chief Executive Officer, Zilla Parishad, Wardha.
2018 batch IAS officer Saumya Sharma Chandak, previously the CEO of Nagpur Smart City, has been appointed as the Municipal Commissioner of Amravati Municipal Corporation.
2014 batch promotee IAS officer Sachin Kalantre, the outgoing Commissioner of Amravati Municipal Corporation, will now serve as Deputy Director General at Yashada, Pune, the state’s premier administrative training institute.
2020 batch IAS officer Jithin Rahman, currently the CEO of Zilla Parishad, Wardha, has been posted as CEO, Zilla Parishad, Beed.
Backdrop of Frequent Changes
This is the second reshuffle within a week and follows the earlier transfer of eight IAS officers, signaling the state government’s aggressive push for administrative re-alignment. Since returning to power nearly six months ago, the Fadnavis-led Mahayuti administration has carried out several waves of changes at the top bureaucratic level, aiming to streamline governance and enhance policy delivery across Maharashtra.
In last week’s changes, Nitin Patil was appointed as the Administrator of the State Cotton Producers Marketing Federation, and Appasaheb Dhulaj took charge as Secretary of the OBC Bahujan Welfare Department.
The Chief Minister’s office has maintained that these reshuffles are part of a broader strategy to enhance performance, strengthen public service delivery, and position capable officers in roles that align with the government’s development goals.
