Madhya Pradesh IAS Special: Collectors Of 2 Districts, CEOs Belong To Same Batch

Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): An odd situation has cropped up in two districts in the state after the issuance of the IAS officers' transfer list. According to the list, two 2016-batch IAS officers have been transferred to Bhind and Singrauli as collectors.

Kirodi Lal Meena has been posted as collector of Bhind, and Gourav Banel as collector of Singrauli. What is strange is that the chief executive officers of the district Panchayats of both these places also belong to the 2016 batch. Sunil Dubey has been posted as district Panchayat CEO in Bhind and Jagdeesh Gome as CEO in Singrauli.

Both are promotee officers. In districts, the district Panchayat CEOs work under collectors. Because the col-lectors and CEOs belong to the same batch, a strange situation has developed.

According to sources, the government is mulling over transferring the district Pan-chayat CEOs. In Singrauli, the CEO had been posted three days before the collector. As the IAS officers posted in districts function under
collectors, only junior officers are sent there. But this time, the officers of the same batch have been posted as collec-tors and CEOs of district Pan-chayats.
