The Yogi administration on Tuesday transferred 41 IAS officers, including the vice-chairman of the Lucknow Development Authority, Satyendra Singh.
This is Yogi's second major administrative reshuffle after becoming UP CM. Earlier this month, 20 IAS officers were issued similar orders and eight officers were put on the waitlist.
Days after he was sworn in as chief minister, Adityanath sought a review of four major projects cleared during Akhilesh Yadav's tenure.
Special Secretary Urban Planning and Housing Housing Department, RJ Chowdhary directed the vice-chairman of the Lucknow Development Authority to submit a detailed report within three days after probing the alleged irregularities in the projects. Since the reports suggested inflated cost in the SP-approved projects, Satyendra Singh's role came under suspicion.
