Transfer of senior IAS officers and Health and Family Welfare secretary N B Dhal (IAS:1993:OR) has been kept in abeyance by the Odisha government. It is being said that the decision has been done in view of the cyclonic storm Aman. Dhal was transferred to the Energy Department on May 13, but could not join in wake of the impending calamity. Dhal’s transfer in the middle of the fight against COVID-19 had raised many eyebrows in the power corridors and bureaucratic level. Similarly, the appointment of B P Sethi (IAS:1995:OR) as principal secretary of Revenue and Disaster Management Department has also been kept in abeyance keeping in view of the cyclone. In both cases, the appointments are kept in abeyance until further order. Both the officers are still working in their existing positions.
