The Maharashtra government on Monday transferred 25 IAS officers including Panvel commissioner Sudhakar Shinde who has earned the displeasure of the local BJP unit.
Sources said a further reshuffle can't be ruled out as Chief Secretary Sumit Mullick is due to retire in end-April. Contenders for the chief secretary's post include additional chief secretaries D.K. Jain, Medha Gadgil, and Sudhir Shrivastava.
After retirement, Mullick may be appointed as the Chief Information Commissioner (CIC).
Among those transferred on Monday are S.R. Jondhale who replaces Sampada Mehta as Collector, Mumbai City District. Naval Kishor Ram will be the new district collector of Pune replacing Saurav Rao who has been transferred as Commissioner, Pune Municipal Corporation. The Commissioner of Nagpur Municipal Corporation Ashwin Mudgal will be district collector of Nagpur, CM Fadnavis's home district.
Lakshmi Narayan Mishra will be the new district collector of Washim district. Rahul Dwivedi has been shifted to Ahmednagar as the collector. S.L. Mali will be the new Commissioner of Nanded Municipal Corporation and M.G. Adrad the new Commissioner of Ahmednagar Municipal Corporation.
Shekhar Channe will be the new Maharashtra Transport Commissioner.
Whatever the compulsion, the frequency of transfers and reshuffles has surprised senior officials.
It has also given an opportunity to the state opposition to take the Fadnavis administration to task. "Frequent transfers are a trademark of the Fadnavis government. The officers are not even allowed to complete their tenure of minimum two years. We condemn government's efforts to make bureaucrats puppets," said Congress spokesperson Sachin Sawant.
